Declan Kidney, CoachAge: 51 (52 on Oct 20)

• Appointed: 2008 A qualified mathematics teacher who will hope his sums add up in New Zealand. The quietly spoken Corkman has a record to die for in the northern hemisphere with two European Cup winsas Munster coach -plus two other final appearances - and delivered the holy grail of the Six Nations Grand Slam in 2009 in only his second season in charge of the national side and as a result garnered the IRB coach of the year award. Results since then have been patchy as have been the performances but as he has shown in the past he is capable of summoning great displays out of his sides when it matters.
