I saw the fun being had in the Dan Carter 11 year thread and I saw a topic that actually interested me pop up and thought I would segregate it from the other conversations (seriously though, best performance was Ruan Pienaar vs Japan in last years World Cup )
I know it's still early in the SH calendar year but I think it's pretty clear cut that it has to go to Eddie Jones. He has turned the English team into grand slam and 6 nations champions and then followed up with whitewashing Australia away. That's just impressive on its own, but to do that following England crashing out of their own World Cup and certain low morale is something special.
The only competition will be from Hanson, it's a pity they won't play each other this year because that may have decided it. I don't think that anything The All Blacks achieve this year will overshadow Jones' success, unless England collapse in the eoyt and the All Blacks go undefeated throughout the year.
thoughts?
