Buckle up. There’s a wild, winning ride ahead

Joe Schmidt has quickly impregnated the set-up with a new vitality, new direction and a new philosophy that I think will lead to a renewed period of success for thenational team leading up to and including the 2015 World Cup.

There’s a new Ireland rugby camp these days. Every player is at their optimum mentally at the minute. I alluded last week to a freshness in the Irish set-up. I want to elaborate on that. There’s a massive determination for something to be achieved under this new Schmidt management ticket. This wild ride is only beginning and tomorrow will be another step forward.
