[QUOTE="Dirty Ape, post: 769846, member: 73216"] The All Blacks of the last 4 years is the most successful international rugby team in history - more successful even than the Henry era. In fact, this side would have to be a candidate for one of the most successful sporting teams in the entire history of team sports. And this year was the year when that mega-success reached its apex and the World Cup was won. And Steve Hansen was the coach of this side, the head of the organisation that achieved this unparalleled success. That's what you're up against. Cheika is a great coach and has had a very good year, and I have no desire to downplay his and Australia's accomplishments. But in my mind there is no comparison. To answer the question you asked - would the All Blacks have won the RWC without Hansen? Possibly. If you're saying any monkey with a clipboard could have won the cup coaching this side then no, I don't agree with that at all. Beyond that it's all speculation. [/QUOTE]
