Henry's All Blacks contract extended

Graham Henry and his assistants Steve Hansen and Wayne Smith have had their contracts extended until the end of 2007.

The trio were appointed in 2004 and their current deals were due to expire at the end of this year but, after a review of the 2004 season, the New Zealand Rugby Union announced today that their contracts would run for a further two years to include the Rugby World Cup campaign in France in 2007.
