All Blacks coach Steve Hansen is giving nothing away about who he sees as his third choice halfback, heading into this year's Rugby Championship and Rugby World Cup.

With the likes of Chiefs duo Brad Weber and Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi and Crusaders' Mitchell Drummond all putting their hands up to play support roles for Aaron Smith and TJ Perenara, coach Hansen was asked today as to who stands where in his halfback pecking order.

Asked about Weber in particular, Hansen was complimentary of the Chiefs' number nine, Hansen said Brad Weber is  getting mentioned all the time.

However, Hansen refused to comment on who the current standout candidate in his mind is at the moment.

The All Blacks' coach says there are a number of candidates playing well.
