Incoming chief Schmidt out to hurt Leinster

INCOMING Leinster coach Josef Schmidt is relishing his move to Ireland but admits his immediate focus is to knock his new employers out of the Heineken Cup.

Schmidt’s current day job is as backs coach with Clermont Auvergne who face Michael Cheika’s side in an European quarter-final on Friday, April 9.

And the former Auckland Blues and Waikato Chiefs boss insists his allegiances are very much with the French outfit for their trip to Ireland.
