Photo / PhotosportCrusaders coach Scott Robertson is expected to re-sign with the franchise soon, despite being atop the wish list of several of the world's leading rugby teams in the wake of the Southerners' latest Super Rugby success. Though Jones last month survived a review into England's fifth-place finish in the defence of their European title, Robertson's stock has continued to rise after a fifth straight Super Rugby title. According to Crusaders chief executive Colin Mansbridge, a deal with Robertson will be reached soon. In March, Robertson said the developments around the controversial Silver Lake private equity deal would be "a pretty important part of re-signing".
