Former Wales captain Sam Warburton has named his greatest Six Nations coach - with Shaun Edwards coming out ahead of Warren Gatland and Sir Clive Woodward.
The two-time Lions captain ranked six of the best Six Nations coaches from over the years alongside former England scrum-half Danny Care as part of BBC Radio 5 Live's Six Nations Greatest podcast.
Grand Slam winners Eddie Jones, Joe Schmidt and Bernard Laporte all featured, but it was defensive guru Edwards - now with France after more than a decade with Wales - who emerged as the best.

"He was so good at making you reach an emotional peak," said Warburton.
"He would have three or four key messages and he'd drill them in all week. Non-stop reminders of what you had to deliver.
"You never want to let him down. He had everyone's reviews on the big screen and if you were poor everyone saw it, if you were good everyone saw it.
"You would do anything to earn Shaun's respect. He has people running through brick walls for him."
Given Edwards, unlike the others on the list, has never been a head coach at international level, it's testament to his coaching ability that he was ranked above the others.
Warburton and Care had former French coach Laporte, who won 30 out of 40 Six Nations games, in second, while former Wales coach Gatland was third.
"He was really good at gauging where the lads were," said Warburton.
"Say you've had a big training week, you have your big meeting for the Thursday session and we'd have the full 15-minute meeting, quite emotive, it's getting close to the game.
"I remember him saying, 'How you boys feeling?' and we were thinking, 'we've had one hell of a training week, it's been tough'.
"He just said, 'right, training's off' and walked out the room. He would have spoken to the fitness staff, he knew when to pull back volume.
"He was really good at managing players, team environments, and developing leadership as well. I thought he was really good at getting the best out of players. I played my best rugby under him."
2003 World Cup winner Woodward was ranked fourth, with former Ireland coach Schmidt and current England head honcho Jones filling up the final two spots.
