[QUOTE="Raz, post: 767649, member: 73368"] Hansen is clearly a great coach but I would say Jones, Cotter and Chieka have done more with less. I can't agree with the people saying that the winner of the final gives us the answer as that discounts so much of what any team/coach has done before. Obviously the RWC is s benchmark but by that logic Jones is discounted because Japan didn't win the WC despite what he has done being, arguably, at least as big an achievement as getting a better team to the final. Chieka and Hansen also had much more favourable scheduling if you are only going to look at this from a RWC point of view. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] But you are discounting coaches who have proven they can do more with less. I think that Hansen is great but it is the context of what is around this year. This year it just so happens that Chieka has done very well to get to a final when, a year ago, many would not have expected AUS to get to one and Jones who oversaw a historic sporting triumph and 3 group stage wins with an I fancied team and did so playing very effective rugby while also battling scheduling.
