How Whitney Hansen Has Revolutionized The Black Ferns

How has Whitney Hansen revolutionized the Black Ferns? They score the same number of tries as last year, yet they look like a completely different team, and when I went through all the numbers for 2026, they honestly blew my mind. I compared 2026 with 2025, put the Black Ferns on the same charts as the other 11 top nations, and looked at what every jersey does now, from the halfback to the tighthead. Then I compared them position by position with Canada and England, the two teams that matter most. It's not all good news, though. There's one thing they're now the worst of all 12 teams at, and when we add up all the charts at the end, another team finishes level with them. Tell me in the comments: what grade would you give Whitney Hansen for 2026?
