New Zealand have won 83 of their past 93 Tests and, as their head coach Steve Hansen explains, that success is based on trying something new even if it sometimes fails
Everyone wants to know the All Blacks’ secret. How is it, exactly, they have won 83 of 93 Tests under their head coach, Steve Hansen, and held the mantle of the world’s No 1 ranked team for nine consecutive years?
To put that dominance in perspective, since 2012 the next best record in world rugby is held by England, who the All Blacks face on Saturday at Twickenham, with a 69% win ratio (54 out of 78) and 50 million more residents than New Zealand. Many myths and legends shroud the All Blacks’ success but one element we can pinpoint is their relentless pursuit of innovation. Never, ever, stand still, or you will be overtaken.
