Steve Hansen
Head Coach & Selector WORLD RUGBY COACH of the Year from 2012-14, and 2016, and recipient of the Sport New Zealand Leadership Award in 2018, All Blacks Head Coach Steve Hansen led the team to its back-to-back victory at RWC 2015, capping off a remarkable run of success. Hansen coached the team to the first 'perfect season' in 2013 as the All Blacks were victorious in all 14 Tests they played. The All Blacks carried on that form in 2014, again winning the Steinlager Series against England 3-0 as well as their third consecutive Investec Rugby Championship and a clean sweep on the year-end Northern Tour. Then came the Rugby World Cup, where the All Blacks made history. Hansen's coaching career began in Canterbury, highlighted by NPC First Division titles in 1997 and 2001. He served as assistant coach of the Crusaders during title-winning seasons in 1999 and 2000. He also coached New Zealand A on their tour to Europe in 2000. Internationally, he coached Wales in 29 Tests from 2002 to 2004, which included taking Wales to the RWC 2003 quarter-finals and was a key part of the RWC 2011-winning All Blacks coaching team from 2004-2011. Hansen is also an All Blacks selector, together with Assistant Head Coach Ian Foster and former All Black Grant Fox.
