The RFU have reportedly gone with Steve Borthwick rather than chasing Scott Robertson.

Crusaders coach Scott Robertson will be in Christchurch when the team plays the Highlanders in Melbourne on Friday night.

Kick-off is scheduled for 8pm NZT.

It was revealed before kick-off in the Super Round at AAMI Stadium, where all games will be played as part of the Super Round, that Robertson has stayed at home for personal reasons.

The Crusaders are seeking their first win of the Super Rugby Pacific season after getting beaten 31-10 by the Chiefs in their opening round match in Christchurch last Friday night.

The Crusaders have been contacted for comment.
