Steve Hansen calls for improved showing

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has demanded an improved performance from the world champions in tonight’s Pool C clash against minnows Namibia.

Hansen is keen to quickly move on from Sunday’s showing against Argentina and has challenged the defending champions – who have made 12 changes from the win over the Pumas — to go up a gear in their second outing of the tournament.

“What happened the other day is in the past,” he said.
