The promise of more mountains to climb has tempted Rugby World Cup-winning All Blacks coach Steve Hansen into extending his contract with New Zealand Rugby until the 2019 tournament.Hansens unparalleled record of 52 wins from 57 Tests made it easy for the board to reach a unanimous decision, NZR chief executive Steve Tew said on Monday.Steves winning record is unsurpassed in the modern era, he said.Hansens ability to grow the team through selection and to inspire players to reach greater heights played a key part in the NZR boards decision.Hansen told media he had thought long and hard about standing down following the All Blacks 34-17 Rugby World Cup final win over Australia in October last year.I often get asked, why would you go back when youve climbed the mountain? he said.The simple answer, as I had more time to think about it, was that I dont know if we have climbed the highest mountain.There are still mountains to be climbed - we can still get better, and I can still get better as a coach.Hansen said his decision took time, as he thought it through to make sure it was right for his family, for himself and for the team.I had to ask a couple of questions - did I have the energy, passion and commitment to get up and drive this team the way it needs to be driven?The recent Welsh series, won 3-0 by the All Blacks, confirmed that he did, and the lure of winning a third successive Rugby World Cup, at the 2019 event in Japan, provided extra incentive.Three in a row - its never been done before, and its a challenge this team will really enjoy.Hansen, who was appointed head coach in 2012, wouldnt entirely rule on the possibility of staying on for the 2023 World Cup, pointing to 94-year-old New Zealand athletics coach Arch Jelley as an example of what was possible.But theres only one Arch Jelley, so I wont be coaching at 94, I can promise you that.Its not even worthwhile me thinking about that. I think the contract runs through to March 2020, and Im comfortable with that.After the World Cup in 2019, therell be decisions to be made.Miguel Andujar Yankees Jersey .
