Schmidt insists Reds have moved past gaffe

Joe Schmidt has denied that the leaked management report will have an adverse effect on the Munster rugby team as they prepare for Friday’s Pro12 opener against Edinburgh.

Schmidt watched the players training under Anthony Foley yesterday, chatting to some of the players during the day, and believes there has been no visible effect on the players.

“The players were in great spirits. We watched them train and there was a really good intensity to the training.
