PARIS (AP) — The most talked about man in the impending Rugby World Cup quarterfinal between Ireland and New Zealand in Paris on Saturday has also said the least.
Before Joe Schmidt joined the All Blacks staff, he was the most decorated coach in Irish rugby history.
Mick Kearney has been the Ireland manager for Schmidt and Farrell and this week he was asked how much of Schmidt's influence still prevailed. “Joe's been awesome since he joined us last year,” All Blacks coach Ian Foster said."It hasn't been heavily loaded towards his insight into Irish rugby. “Joe's done a great job over the last 12 months, made big strides,” Sexton said. “Joe knows us well, we know him well, but Joe doesn't get to make any tackles or run any lines at the weekend.”The Irish went 111 years without beating the All Blacks. But since 2016, no team has more than their five wins against New Zealand.
The All Blacks' journey has been amazing for its inconsistency and accumulation of unwanted firsts. They lost 10 tests before coming to France, the most in any of their Rugby World Cup cycles.
