Joe Schmidt post RWC19

[FLIP]

No surprise's. Joe's going home. BlueAndy to take over after the WC.
Thanks Joe.

He's worked hard for us at Leinster and Ireland for the past 8 years. He's giving us one more before he heads home to his family. Can't begrudge him that.

Is it wrong that my disappointment that he's leaving has been entirely tempered by the fact that he wont be coaching anyone against us?

Thank you Joe

Sorry to see Joe announce that he is leaving, but happy to support his decision to focus upon his family. He was the best coach ever - his transformation of Leinster and Ireland into winners has been phenomenal, and has brought so much pride and pleasure to us fans.

Thanks for everything and please keep up the good work for 6N 2019 and the RWC.

Going to be some interesting Interviews in NZ following the RWC19 as the NZ Union pick the successors to Hansen, Foster and Wayne Smith. Maybe there might some recently-returned local guy who can give them an insight into the available coaching talent?

Heard on the wireless this morning that NZ offered him a job last year (not sure it was dee job).

Hansen likes Dublin, just sayin.

[Oldschool]

Whither Joe now following Hansen's retirement as NZ coach.
Joe and his family could have some serious soul searching to do.
Whatever they decide to do they've earned the right.

I dunno, I'll be happy enough when they appoint Eddie Jones
