With the South African Springboks beating the New Zealand All Blacks on 15 September 2018, Rassie Erasmus has joined an elite group of rugby coaches who can say they have won test rugby in New Zealand. That made me wonder how many coaches in the world have won test rugby in New Zealand in the professional era?
According to this query on ESPN Scrum, New Zealand has lost 10 times at home since August 26th, 1995 (the beginning of the professional era). The coaches aren't mentioned but can be retrieved from Wikipedia.
