Here's the official media release about Robertson's re-signing.

His re-commitment also means that they can start looking for a replacement of Brad Mooar, and negotiate a new contract with Jason Ryan and Ronan O'Gara, if they want to stay on (or find a replacement).

Wow, that's the kind of Crusaders wank speak that would make Phil Gifford blush.

Then there are the "foundation days", the camps to be held for All Blacks. Just when they will be staged, and whether Super Rugby teams will be denied test players ahead of offshore matches, is still a mystery. All enquiries in regards to the camps have to be directed to the All Blacks, but they are not saying anything yet.Even better, All Blacks hooker Codie Taylor should be picked to play the win-less Chiefs at Christchurch Stadium this weekend, having been rested from the first three games. The following weekend, when the Crusaders meet the Highlanders, All Blacks king pins Sam Whitelock and Kieran Read will be available after standing down from the first month of the competition.During the 22-12 win over the Reds in Brisbane on Saturday night, Robertson had emptied his bench by the 61st minute. The need to get test players off the park, and to also add fresh legs in the humidity, was deemed a necessity when his side led by 15 points but it also resulted in the side struggling to maintain its rhythm and continuity on attack. "There is no doubt the momentum of the game changed when you make a lot of subs," Robertson said. "But we knew that was potentially going to happen and we practised during the week as much as we can and talked about keeping the momentum and the flow going." With All Blacks first five-eighth Richie Mo'unga sitting on 128 minutes prior to the game, Robertson knew he had to withdraw him in the second half and get Mitchell Hunt on the field. Then came the drama in the final 10 minutes when Hunt was knocked out, and the officials incorrectly wouldn't allow Mo'unga to return as a replacement which meant the visitors had to play the rest of the game with 14 men. "But making eight changes, and what happened in the end with Richie - because we had rolled the dice in the 60th minute to get him off - had that consequence. But it is done (the All Blacks capping of minutes)," Robertson said. It is too soon to say whether Hunt will be available to play the Chiefs.
