Steve Hansen Quotations

We're just pleased we can finally get this project going.

Wales didn't control the ball enough so they put themselves under pressure,

Obviously he is playing very well and if he continues do so, when he is available, we will look closely at him. We think he's a very good player. But he's not available so we can't use him.

But we have taken a long-term approach with both of them. They should be back in contention for the (Feb. 22) Ireland game, but for the time being we are happy with the make-up of the team.

We just have to be very careful we don't blow this into something that it isn't, because it can just leave a nasty taste in everyone's mouth.

What will it take to get the council off the dime? It's not because of the council. It's about negotiations yet.

I thought the team that played today could have played better, but the main thing is they got the experience of playing in a test match... some of them will go on and get a lot more of it.

I think we're getting closer. It takes a little longer than all the parties expected. We're still looking at downtown. Penney's is our first priority.

I think there's some older players are starting to put their hands up, locks tend to mature a bit later than loose forwards, so there's those guys and some more young guys putting their hand up as well.

Our goal is to use (treated wastewater) in solving needs around Sun Valley and Ketchum. And by using that water for irrigation, that will lessen the need to pump water from the ground.

I think lock is still an area we want to keep developing, James has made great strides, Ali's made tremendous strides as well and Jacko's just been Jacko so if we could find a fourth person that would be great,

I think the terms are pretty favorable for us. The lease doesn't kick in for one year from now.

Jonah is an incredibly determined man and if you have his faith and resilience, you can achieve almost anything. Let's not forget that we are talking here about the greatest player to have graced the game, so if he can reignite the old spark, of course he will be in contention for a Test recall,

We were happy that, although there was a small turnout ... we did get a large percentage in favor of it.

We'll give Greg as much time as he needs, he's well versed in what we're doing and how we do it.

Timely hitting has been our problem all year. We put the ball in play and put pressure on them, but we just didn't get timely hits.

We don't want to duplicate efforts and want to work together. I believe we can work together.

This will make it so much easier for patients.

We need to have a lineout with three bullets rather than two.

We're disappointed he's injured, we don't want to see him out of the tour because he brings a lot to the tour, he's a world class player,

There's nothing inherently negative about the commercial, except to say he has a decision to make, and it's a historic one, ... were not very pleased by it. But as we talked about it, they understood that we have roles and our role isn't to do things that make them happy all the time.

They made it clear the governor feels bound by Proposition 22. We presented some issues to them and they said they'll take it into consideration... but things don't seem likely to change.

The release of sensitive information denigrates the process. It denigrates the people involved in the process.

It's obviously disappointing for Wales to lose Mike at this stage. Mike has made a decision and he has made it early enough so Wales can replace him in time for the World Cup. His results have been first class. He will always go down and be known as a great Welsh coach, and that is exactly how it should be.

It's got nothing to do with who the opponent is,

The basin is built, all the concrete is poured. We'll be tying things together and testing everything.

The big different between playing the Lions and the home nations is that you've got a group of people who understand each other, who understand the philosophy of how they want to play.

It'll take treated effluent and run it through a cloth filter process and remove even minute particles to give us a very, very clean effluent.

It will be nice to find one of them.

Hopefully, we'll get some good bids. It's a tough project, working downtown, digging trenches.

I believe if we want to go into the World Cup we've got to find a loose forward who's six foot four (1.93m) and can jump and also do all the things that our current crop have got, so it would be nice to find one of them so we can have a lineout that has three bullets rather than two.

The Day of Silence is all about respecting one another for our differences.
