All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has revealed he will make a call on his future before the Rugby Championship.Hansens contract expires at the end of 2017 and he is currently weighing up whether to extend that until the 2019 World Cup. The coach, who led the side to their 2015 World Cup triumph, was speaking to the BBC and said it will be a decision which takes into account a number of different factors.Theres four things Ive looked at, Hansen said. One is the family... is it right for them? Is it right for the team? Is it right for the [New Zealand] Rugby Union and can I still get up in the morning and motivate myself and the team to improve?So if I cant do all those things, I wont do it. If I still think I can do it and the players are keen on me to do it then Ill think about it.?Theres one or two Ive just got to ask myself yet and well make a decision before the Rugby Championship.He added: New Zealand Rugby have got to say theyre keen too. Im sure if we can sit down, something positive will come.The New Zealand boss said their recent 3-0 Test series win over Wales hammered home to himself that he still has the hunger for the job, saying I love winning and I love that team.Next up on Hansens radar as All Blacks coach is the Rugby Championship which starts on Aug. 20 and then attention shifts to next summer when they welcome the British & Irish Lions to New Zealand.Hansen believes Warren Gatland should be the frontrunner to lead the tourists, and added: If you get it right then youve got something special. So theyll be tough if they get it right. Scarpe Nike Scontatissime . "Jeff is a hard worker who was an important special-teams contributor for us last season," said Stamps GM John Hufnagel.
