'Rugby is bigger than all of us': Steve Hansen confirms why he is helping Wallabies
Former All Blacks head coach Steve Hansen has joined New Zealand radio personality Mike Hosking from Paris to clear up reports the coach has joined the Wallabies.
-
@Stargazer you'd think alot of the IP he as in and around the squad will be redundant now anyway after 4 years since his involvement, you'd also expect he is professional enough to keep any 'trade secrets', well, secret.
I guess if he can help make Aus rugby stronger again thats a good thing isnt it?

Sir Steve Hansen to help the Wallabies.
Don't know why it's even news. It happens often. Didn't Henry help the Oumas etc? Most of these coaches are mates and I sure Hansen is only casting eyes over what Eddie is doing, and not actually taking training etc.
Boy talk about strom in a teacup.Since when are the Pumas (Oumas?) in any way comparable to the Wallabies in terms of fierce rivalry? Winning (or rather retaining) the Bled is massive every year. Do we even have a trophy that we compete with the Oumas for?
Ffs he's spending a couple of days with Auusies, Henry was actually part of Pumas set up whie they were playing ABs in RC. It's like when coaches go to workshops etc, I pretty sure Hansen is not going to be helping Wallabies with tips on AB stuff. You know even while he was coaching ABs Hansen was talking to Eddie every week, and when the ABs played Boks would go for a mael with Bok coach, I never thought it a problem then and don't now. And will add Wallabies are hardly fierce rivals that title belongs to Springboks etc.

Boy talk about strom in a teacup.For a "grassroots true rugby man man" such as yourself, that's surprising to hear.
Why? It's a storm in a teacup. He's spending a few days with them, probably picking Eddie's brain as much as Eddie picking his. I will bet anything he's not actually running coaching etc, or setting up tactics etc.
I think you will find NZR and RA work together and help each other in different ways.
Add to that he spoke to Foster before he did too. -

Once again, there is a massive difference between the Oumas and the Wallabies. If you honestly don't see that then I seriously question your credentials as an AB supporter.

I'm sure Dan is as much of a supporter as the rest of us. He just seems to have a more apologist standpoint

The point is that the rivalry between the ABs and Oumas doesn't come anywhere close to that of the rivalry with the Wallabies. I find it bizarre for that comparison to even be made.

so when are the result of Farrell & Vunipola's hearings due?
Will the Farrell one take as long as Sextons?

Tonight UK time I think

Several important decisions coming up, which will be hugely important for the credibility of WR health & safety policy.
WR's appeal in Farrell's case
George Moala's appeal against his suspension (hearing on 24 August)
Billy Vunipola's red card. -

No I been a one eyed AB supporter since I could listen to games on the radio in the 1950s as a 5yo, I just don't think Hansen spending 3-4 days with Wallabies as treachery and is going to particularly hurt the ABs. I just don't get my knickers in a twist over little details!! Geez some of you must not sleep at night if you this upset about Hansen spending 3-4 days with Wallabies while him and Mrs are already in France. FFS , Gregan and Marshall used to ring each other with tips and wishing each other good luck when ABs and Wallabies played tests against other teams!! And what is Hansen going to do in a couple of days??
FFS how are jokers going to handle Razor? He has made it very clear he wants to coach the ABs and then coach another team to a WC win!! -
@Stargazer bang on mate, they could have some fairly big ramifications.
Didn't realise Moala was appealing. -
@Stargazer if he helps Eddie with 2019 type selection decisions, I'm all for it.

Well, he shows his quality compared to Wayne Smith
I thought we were all for helping out the minnows
Unfortunately as the luck of the draw would have it, the Wallabies are a better chance of reaching the semis than us good guys. Hansen should be offering to help us out!

You losing your shit mate, if all you can repeat is my finger hit wrong key in a reply. And to add Henry became part of Puma's coaching team, not go in and give advice on how coach was running thing. So how do you feel about Razor?
And why are you so keen on making Wallaby supporters appear more grown up than us? Who do Aussies love to hate in sport? England, and their supporters pretty well shrugged shoulders when Eddie coached England. I didn't think either Deans or Rennie were doing anything wrong actually coaching Wallabies. I really wonder if some just don't look for things to get upset over.
