Steve Hansen: The best All Black coach ever

There are, apparently, lies, damned lies, and statistics, but you can stack the numbers any way you like and still conclude that Steve Hansen is the best coach the All Blacks have had.

Under Hansen, the All Blacks have played 96 tests, winning 85, losing eight and drawing three. That’s a success rate of 88.5%, a stunning achievement in the professional game with all the scrutiny and pressure that comes with it and one that will probably never be beaten.
