[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 975559, member: 40658"] I get this reasoning too. But for me, the best coaches would always shine no matter which tier they coach, they might not always get the wins, due to the player quality and backing they have, but their rugby brains are what makes the team more successful. The way I see it, if we would use your example, is that a top quality coach would be able to implement his strategy better and quicker in a tier 1 side like England, whereas there might be a few obstacles in his way with the Netherlands. That's not to say he would use different strategies, if he has a plan which he thinks will bring him positive results, he would try and implement them no matter the tier of the team. But how the team executes it is a different story. For me it's more than just the single head coach, it's about the group he surrounds himself with in the coaching box, the medical staff, the dieticians, the players and the administrators. Cheika for example didn't seem to have the backing of the administrators, and was in constant battles with them, while he did seem to have the backing of the players, but there was enough intrusion to make his team less successful than they were supposed to be.
