Injuries worry Hansen
24 March 2004, 10:35 am
Coach Steve Hansen picks his last Wales team for Saturday's final RBS 6 Nations Championship match against Italy with injury worries over key players.
Brent Cockbain (ankle), Jonathan Thomas (bruised hip and shoulder) and Iestyn Harris (knee) are all rated as doubts.

Cockbain limped off in the 31-21 defeat to England last week with a sprained left ankle and Harris has not done any contact training since injuring his knee against France.

Thomas was due to resume training on Wednesday but is still a doubt going in to the weekend.

Captain Colin Charvis was given the all-clear for full training after sitting out sessions so far this week with a knock to his thigh.

As Hansen prepares to end his role as Wales coach he admits it will be an emotional departure after two years in charge.

The friends we have made not just within rugby have been outstanding and I will remember them forever, said Hansen, who returns to New Zealand next month to take up his post as All Blacks assistant coach.

My son Ollie being born here caps things off and it is not a place I will ever forget.

But when it comes down to blood family v rugby family there is no contest. My daughters have had it tough back home in New Zealand and it is up to us to support them.

When your job has finished that is the time to reflect. It has been a good couple of years, frustrating at times that we have to deal with certain things.

I could have not asked for a better group of young guys who have given us everything, taken things on board and tried to keep improving.
