Whitney Hansen, daughter of former All Blacks coach Sir Steve Hansen, was named as the new Black Ferns head coach. 

In her first year she will oversee 11 tests and a historic British & Irish Lions Series in 2027.

"She knows what she wants to do and when she wants to do it and, you know, I think it's important that your kids make their own decisions about where they want to go and what they want to do," Sir Steve Hansen told D'Arcy Waldegrave.
