Steve Hansen confirmed as All Blacks coach till 2015

ALL Blacks coach Steve Hansen's contract has been extended through to 2015 Rugby World Cup.
New Zealand Rugby CEO Steve Tew announced Hansen would coach the World Champions until the end of 2015 during a media conference in Wellington today.
Hansen is delighted to be given the opportunity to continue coaching the All Blacks.
"I am looking forward to not only the challenges that are coming this year, but right through to 2015. Having the opportunity to try and recapture the Webb Ellis Cup is something that I'm really excited by," Hansen says.
Last year he led the team to a 12 win, one draw and one loss season which saw the retention of the Bledisloe Cup and triumph in the inaugural Rugby Championship.
Hansen said while the team had been very happy with its results last year, the team also realized it had to grow.
"We have to keep growing both our leadership experience so that we have more players who can make good decisions in the big moments and we need to grow our game so we stay in front rather than allowing others to catch up."
