      Surname First Name Country Pros Cons
      CROWLEY Kieran ITA Big wins this year. Playing with panache.
      FARRELL Andrew IRE Won first ever test and series in NZ.
      GALTHIE Fabien FRA Won every test. Playing brilliant rugby. .
      MAISASHVILI Levan GEO Made massive leaps forward. Beat Wales.
      RENNIE David AUS Beat South Africa. Beat England. Beat Argentina away. Should have beaten NZ but for an all time brain explosion. Beat Scotland. Hammered Wales. Came within a whisker of beating both Ireland and France. All while dealing with availability crisis. Done a good job, and set the Wallabies well for the RWC (sans injury). Lost to Italy. Worst ever loss to Argentina. Only won 5 from 15. Most ill-disciplined team in world rugby.
      SMITH Wayne NZL Proved his genius yet again, this time as the head of the coaching team, against the odds

            Controversial I know

            But

            Beat South Africa. Beat England. Beat Argentina away.
            Should have beaten us but for an all time brain explosion.

            Went north, beat Scotland. Hammered Wales, came within a whisker of beating both Ireland and France. All while dealing with an availability crisis thr likes have never been seen.

            Yes there are black marks, and Wayne Smith will win this by thr length of the Flemington straight

            But he's done a fucking good job, and the wallabies are well poised for the world cup if they have had all their injury bad luck this year.

                  Ian Foster.

                  No coach has provided so much to so many...

                  On a more serious note, Levan Maisashvili of Georgia. Has taken them forward a huge amount.

                      Fabien Galthié.

                      His French side won every Test they played in 2022 and play some of the best Rugby I've ever seen.

                        Eddie Jones! Cos he finally did enough to get sacked

                        For real tho it's Fabien Galthié without any competition

                            @booboo I guess coz he's got no competition. In an unprecedented move, in 2022 every nation, except France, decided to dispense with coaches.

                            Certainly, NZ played that way at times.

                              Cos he coached his team to play exciting rugby, and remain undefeated in 22, the only team to do so. In fact, only one near undefeated of the top teams

                                Ireland only lost to France, in France, and had arguably the tougher fixture list. Farrell definitely in the equation

                                      Anyway, that's why it's a vote. Wayne Smith is the total runaway winner, a coaching genius. Forcing the biggest-ever choke in RWC history by a huge margin 🙂

                                            You reckon? Wallabies first ever loss to Italy, worst ever margin defeat to Pumas.

                                            Australia had only won 5/15 tests this season (they won 7/14 in 2021).

                                            Most ill-disciplined international team in the world, most penalized.

                                              FARRELL Andrew IRE Won first ever test and series in NZ.
                                              GALTHIE Fabien FRA Won every test. Playing brilliant rugby. .
                                              MAISASHVILI Levan GEO Made massive leaps forward. Beat Wales.
                                              RENNIE David AUS Beat South Africa. Beat England. Beat Argentina away. Should have beaten NZ but for an all time brain explosion. Beat Scotland. Hammered Wales. Came within a whisker of beating both Ireland and France. All while dealing with availability crisis. Done a good job, and set the Wallabies well for the RWC (sans injury). Lost to Italy. Worst ever loss to Argentina. Only won 5 from 15. Most ill-disciplined team in world rugby.
                                              SMITH Wayne NZL Proved his genius yet again, this time as the head of the coaching team, against the odds
