Rugby-Hansen named as All Blacks head coach MyZA

WELLINGTON Dec 16 (Reuters) – Steve Hansen was named
as the new All Blacks head coach on Friday, less than two months
after he helped engineer the team’s second rugby World Cup
victory.

The 52-year-old former assistant replaces Graham Henry, who
stepped down after eight years in charge that culminated in the
All Blacks winning the Webb Ellis trophy for the first time in
24 years in October.
