The match data held for Hansen reflects a head coaching role, recording zero carries, tackles, or minutes on the field across six Rugby World Cup appearances. His presence in the dataset is entirely non-playing, confirming that his contribution exists wholly in a directing and strategic capacity rather than on the pitch. The numbers, blank as they are, speak precisely to the nature of his involvement — one of organisation and leadership rather than individual statistical output.
