Steve Hansen announced today he's stepping down as All Blacks coach after next year’s Rugby World Cup.

He's been a remarkable coach and the All Blacks have been the best in the world for a hell of a long time.

But it's not just his coaching we'll miss, his dry sense of humour will be sorely missed by fans as well.

Here are a few of his highlights.
