Changing room chat: Coaches' homes hit by earthquake
AUSTRALIA rugby coach Robbie Deans and New Zealand co-coach Steve Hansen were both affected by the weekend's magnitude 7.1 earthquake which hit New Zealand's Canterbury province.
The historic Home Bush mansion, Canterbury home of Deans' family for more than six generations since 1843, was effectively shaken apart by the quake and is likely to be demolished. Hansen's family home at Tai Tapu in rural Canterbury was also extensively damaged by Saturday's tremor.
