Schmidt to make ‘tough’ decision on Ireland future over family brunch

Joe Schmidt has still to make the “tough” decision on his future as Ireland coach as he waits to reach a definitive conclusion following a family brunch on Sunday.

The Ireland boss said he will deliver his decision on whether or not to stay on as Ireland head coach beyond next year’s World Cup once the 2018 Guinness Series ends on Saturday night following the Grand Slam champions’ home Test against the USA.
