Australia coach Eddie Jones has criticised New Zealand for its handling of Scott Robertson's appointment as All Blacks coach, saying the timing was "inappropriate" with Ian Foster still in charge.

Governing body New Zealand Rugby confirmed this week that Robertson, the boss of Canterbury Crusaders boss, would succeed Foster as All Blacks coach after the Sept. 8-Oct. 28 World Cup in France
