    Read the quote above from irishbucsfan. It's not possible within the time frame, Kiss and the others have already been working on this for some time.

    Joe's schedule for Leinster will take him right into June. Does the man not deserve a break?

    There's plenty of time, how do coaches pick things up when they're installed mid-season? As for a break, Ireland don't play again until November, and I'd imagine Joe might want to be involved anyway. Its not as if he has to prepare for a world cup, its the US and Canada

    I'd rather he took the time off tbh. He's had a tough 3 years with Leinster, he deserves a break. Also Kiss probably deserves to redeem his name a little, and the experience may stand to him.

    It is US and Canada as you say, and so we don't really need the best coach there for that....

    It's a fair point although I'm sure Leinster would have preferred a long notice period to line up a new coach (as they had when Schmidt came in to replace Cheika). They will be doing well to get anyone in the same class as Joe Schmidt.

    True enough, though you'd imagine that their risk-management strategy would have been to monitor Kidney's continuing performance as Irish HC, given Schmidt would likely be the outstanding candidate in the event of the former's replacement. I would be very surprised and very disappointed with Leinster's administration if this hit them like a bolt out of the blue (again, pardon the expression).

    The thought of Schmidt coaching the likes of Gilroy, Zebo, Marshall and Earls is mouthwatering. My only worry will be how Schmidt copes with the reduced access to players that comes with the Irish job.

    I'd imagine we won't see any globetrotter stuff anyway. Probably a case of simple but very effective set piece moves.

    Excited and worried all at the same time.

    I'm sure hell do a good job and not do a kidney but picking another coach who managed a province kinda makes the irfu look weak. They have went for the obvious and safe option. Remember how good kidney was going to be after a good spell at Munster? Hopefully he does good for the sake of Irish Rugby.

    No assistants named, and he doesn't want to speculate on his new coaching team for now.

    The hack who asked the question implied it that he would be (strangely), but Joe didn't answer it.

    On BOD, "he's put some pressure on me"

    Seems to imply that BOD was egging him on to take Ireland job

    I like how he said BOD was pushing him towards the Irish role. I'd say Schmidt getting the Irish job will play a massive part in O'Driscoll's decision to stay on.
