[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 865726, member: 39240"] To be honest he doesn't get flustered and is calm which I think comes from his history as a teacher. I think he will go back to NZ after next RWC. Was probably close to it this time and somehow Ireland managed to convince him to stay. But he was close to it last summer. I think in a way the last RWC can be deemed a failure in some ways by Ireland and Schmidt wants to rectify that which is why he has put a conscious effort in lately to righting that wrong and building depth. Which is another example: At RWC Schmidt built a decent 23/24 but after that a gap was there and he took eye off ball. But he was clued in to accept that was the issue and instead of being stubborn has said "I won't fall for that again". If you look closely at his camps and US tour he's called in alot of different guys who might be involved in 2019 and well has developed a big pool who all seem to know the setup. Guys like James Ryan etc aren't ready now for big internationals but in 2019 they will be and now they know the regime too. [/QUOTE]
