Dublin –
Australia coach Joe Schmidt is not expecting any “love bombs” when he returns to Lansdowne Road, where he engineered many famous wins for Ireland, but he is still the man Johnny Sexton once said taught the Irish “how to win.”
The 59-year-old former teacher won many plaudits for the job he did coaching Leinster and Ireland but will be hoping to engineer a win over the Irish when he returns on Saturday.
Current Ireland coach Andy Farrell says the New Zealander deserves “all the accolades” he receives because “of what he did for Irish rugby.”
