Is that a style he is known for or is he simply making the best use of the cattle he has available?
That's the great unknown.
Schmidt's teams have a very distinctive style which is not really the way NZ teams play, including the ABs. I'd liken it more to a NRL team in its execution.

The rest of the world learned from New Zealand. I think it is time for New Zealand to learn from the rest of the world. Don't forget about the importance of power. Set piece matters. Defence is at least 50 percent of the game. Make sure all your team are clear about the game plan.

@donsteppa and Tana to complete the three. That's why he stepped down at the Blues.

To be fair, our set piece has done well and our defence is up there with the best in the world. Our problems are mostly in attack when teams stop us from playing.

last week our line out was amazing and world rugby was echoing that. Our scrum was referred to the best in world rugby in the early comments by NH commentators vs England.

Remember how Wayne Smith would get at least one big money offer a year when he was an assistant? I wonder if Foster has ever had one.
Well, if we don't win the RWC, I'll give him twenty bucks to fuck off!

Joe Schmidt to make a big annoucment about his future next year :

If he choses to move home to NZ I doubt it would be for an early retirement.

@sparky thing is, if he is making a decision next week, it is highly likely to be staying.
Granted we all know he has been doing a good job with Ireland, but you'd have to say the beating of the drums has only gotten louder int he past week, and given Hansen is yet to announce his decision (although assume he has likely told Tew what he intends) so you reckon Tew & Co have been that proactive and negotiating with Schmidt already, or you reckon they are happy with thier processes they have already and will start looking next year...then appoint

Hanson and Schmidt get on quite well too right? (Didn't he buy tickets off him for the game?) Maybe it'll be a straight replacement keeping existing AB assistant coaches for the first year as he beds in and then he'll appoint his preferred team after that.
