Media trying to get Hansen to endorse Foster as his successor, but he doesn't do it. He says he rates Foster highly, but as to who should be the next coach, he says he'll keep his opinion to himself. There are processes for that.

[Stargazer]

He thinks it's irrelevant that Foster didn't win anything with the Chiefs. He says they didn't win anything at the time, because the Crusaders were winning it.

To be fair they asked Smith on the way out and he backed Foster. Pretty sure Henry openly backed Hansen too.

Well I didn’t that coming. Cheika to take over from Hansen. NZRU innovative as always.

Hansen: We are the only team that can win 3 consecutive world cups. Brazil haven't managed it. And they don't play rugby.

Smart-ass journalist: Brazil do play rugby.

Hansen: Not their soccer team.

If he wins in Japan, he will be the GOAT. Either way he has had a great run, time for a change

Hahaha, that's nasty for those of us reading through the thread to find this information.

Got me as well.

After all Steve Hansen has done for New Zealand Rugby and the All Blacks, I wish him a long and happy retirement. Hopefully the players will work hard to bring an old friend called Bill to his retirement party.

TAB's hypothetical market on Hansens replacement...if they were running a real book I dont expect a few of those names would actually appear, or should be much longer odds...

[antipodean]

@taniwharugby Eddie seems remarkably short priced.

I hope they do open a book. Made a solid $250 off the TAB with Henry's reappointment at 5-1 the day before the decision.

Foster too short when you consider the ABs are longer than $2.00 at most books to win RWC.
