Yes agreed wayne smith is awesome but I think Hansen was very very hard done in the coach of the year awards. I've really warmed to the guy and he's run an awesome campaign .

Chequer coach of the year is just political crap, Hansen has only lost one game this year and chequer has lost plenty and was very lucky to be in the finals after the Scotland game, that was only luck and poor judgement from the Scotts that got them through.

I really think Hansen not getting coach of the year is disgraful.

I think Hansen was robbed by the inept and corrupt irb board.
Have no time for political correctness.
It was an all black clean sweep.
Very privileged to see a team representing us in the most ideal of ways where sportsmanship are the lead and that being men is a role that was played and displayed as a model for us all.
Been some time since I have seen this.
I'm a very proud kiwi and man whose fellow countryman have been living breathing examples of the best of humanity.

well that pretty much wraps up world cup 2015.............we look forward to Japan 2019 and who will be playing for the Ab's then?....end of an era and sad to see such greats leave......For me ......probably the best All Black side ive seen but then i really enjoyed these jokers !!!! = Zinzan Brooke/Robin Brooke/Michael Jones/Grant Fox/Sean Fitzpatrick/Jonah Lomu/Frank Bunce/Walter little/John kirwan/Ian Jones/Bashop/craig dowd/eroni  clarke..............I particularly enjoyed Fitzpatricks battle with Phil Kearns !

Really?

just looks like Hansen might be asked to stay on for the next World Cup and try to be a double world coach which hasn't been achieved yet either,
