THE Irish Rugby Football Union yesterday said it had appointed New Zealand's Joe Schmidt to the job of Ireland head coach as replacement for the sacked Declan Kidney.
Schmidt will leave his role as Leinster head coach to succeed Kidney, who was dismissed earlier this month after Ireland finished fifth in the Six Nations tournament. The IRFU, which announced the appointment on its website, selected Schmidt, a two-time European Cup-winning coach, ahead of Les Kiss and Ewen McKenzie, who were also candidates. Schmidt is thought to have been offered a three-year contract that runs until 2016 and includes the 2015 World Cup hosted by England. Last year he signed a new deal at Leinster until 2014.
