Greatest Rugby​ Union Coach of All Time?

In this episode of #Rugby​ Ascendant, I rant a bit about Stephen Jones and Stuart Barnes' Times article on the greatest rugby coaches of all time.

Jones put Steve #Hansen​ at number five, Barnes at number two. While certainly NOT an All Blacks fan or even all that fond of Steven Hansen, this seems a very unfair assessment. Both penalize Hansen for inheriting a winner, but do not credit him for making that winner even better and staying at the top for an amazing streak. I can only wonder, had New #Zealand​ won #RWC​ in #Japan​, where would he have ranked then, according to Jones and Barnes?
