[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 769760, member: 12207"] I'm not writing Hansen off, I'm just saying that he's not exactly had a perfect record and that from the outside looking in, he does appear to very much be more a cog in a machine rather than a grand director. As for Wales, I bring it up because it's the only data we have to go on of him coaching at an elite level outside of being a part of the All Blacks machine, and it wasn't so crash hot. Sure there were issues in the set-up, but bloody hell if there weren't issues when Cheika took over the Wallabies. The team was an absolute mess and he basically told the ARU he was taking control of everything or he wouldn't get involved and he fixed it all. Kiwis are trying to write Cheika off because he didn't win the RWC, but the reason he got the award is because most people consider it a greater achievement to make a poor performer a contender than to take the reigns of the world champ and have them just continue winning.
