Former All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has endured a brutally awkward interview – but has ultimately revealed his excitement for the upcoming Bledisloe Cup clash this weekend.
Speaking to Sky Sport The Breakdown's Joe Wheeler and former All Black Israel Dagg at his Wanaka home, Hansen spoke about the All Blacks' prospects, retirement and the Wallabies' challenge at Bledisloe I.
Dagg even managed to hilariously bring the stoic Hansen out of his shell.
"It's great for the country, great for the players, great for the coaches – both new guys," Hansen said about this weekend's Bledisloe Cup clash in Wellington, before getting interrupted by Dagg who encouraged more excitement from his former coach.
"You want me to get really excited?" Hansen replied. "Righto, sorry mate. How fantastic is it that we've got test rugby at Sky Stadium!"
