Scott Robertson and Chris Boyd are two of the top three coaches in New Zealand Super Rugby history, based on winning percentage.

Only three Kiwi Super Rugby coaches have won more than 80 per cent of their matches since the competition began in 1996.

Robertson has won 87.50 per cent of his games to date, while Boyd has won 81.48 per cent. The other was Sir Graham Henry, who won 81.82 per cent of his matches, 27 of 33, in his three years in charge of the Blues. One of the games he failed to win ended in a draw.

While it's early days in their current coaching jobs, Aaron Mauger and Colin Cooper close out the top five with their efforts for the Highlanders and Chiefs respectively, showing just how dominant New Zealand's Super Rugby sides are in this era.

Looking at the Super Rugby Round 12 this week, defending champions and current leader of the overall table the Crusaders will travel to Melbourne to face the Rebels at 9.45pm Friday.
