CARDIFF (Reuters) - New Zealand must keep improving after a "great year" if they are to become the first side to win back-to-back World Cups in 2015, coach Steve Hansen said.

The All Blacks beat Wales 34-16 on Saturday to cap a year in which they sealed their third successive Rugby Championship, beat World Cup hosts England four times and lost just one of 14 games -- against South Africa in Johannesburg in October.
