World Cup-winning duo reveal future plans

Monday, November 02 2015 by SNTV
  • New Zealand head coach Steve Hansen thinks it's unlikely that he'll lead the All Blacks into the 2019 Rugby World Cup, while captain Richie McCaw was coy about his future plans folldidn't reveal his future plans.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Steve Hansen, New Zealand head coach (On whether he'd extend beyond his 2017 contract for 2019 World Cup)

    "Well there is a reason that it goes until 2017, because I'm not sure about that. I wouldn't say no, but I'm certainly not saying yes either. You only get 10 years for murder back home, so there's not much point! I like the idea of changing the guard halfway through the four year cycle which has the World Cup in the middle of it."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Richie McCaw, New Zealand captain (On whether he's thought about his future)

    "To be honest I've been really tough on myself in terms of not looking past today really. But I am going to enjoy getting home and not having to worrry about those sort of things. Things like going for a run I love doing that, because that makes you feel good, but it is nice not having to and not having at the back of your mind every day thinking what have I got to do to make sure I am right for whatever down the track. You know we've got a bit of time to just do whatever and that's exciting and I guess that's the reward of being able to do the job. If you didn't get it done (win the World Cup) you'd go home and you'd still do the same thing, but it would be a pretty good itch there I'd suggest, that you can't scratch, but that's what is going to be nice. But, you know, I will still go out for a run now and then."
