Interview with former All Black coach Steve Hansen turns awkward in hilarious video
An interview with Steve Hansen suddenly turned awkward this week after banter was exchanged between the legendary former All Black head coach and Israel Dagg.
Israel Dagg was visiting the World Cup-winning coach to talk to him about life after rugby and the upcoming Bledisloe Cup against Australia.
When the interviewer asked if he thought the clash would be a foregone conclusion before it was even played, he answered.
Oh you’re being stupid now, of course, they’re going to compete, they’re a good side and they’ll be well-coached. They’re good players and they have something to play for don’t they, they’ve wanted the Bledisloe for a long time, but I’m confident that our guys will be ready.
The interview turned hilariously awkward when Israel Dagg said to Hansen, “can you just get a bit more excited please” which was met with raucous laughter by everyone watching.
Dagg was exceptionally cheeky in the video to his former coach…
Steve Hansen is known for being very matter of fact about things so it was funny to see his former player jokingly calling him out for it.
