Gareth Steenson has eyes only for World Cup role with Ireland

“My future is I’m going to the World Cup so post-that it will be a matter of seeing where we are really,” said Steenson.

Gareth Steenson is blocking out all talk of what comes next for him in order to concentrate on his role with an Ireland women’s senior team just weeks out from its first pool game at the 2025 Rugby World Cup.

The former Ireland U21 and Exeter Chiefs out-half has been working with Scott Bemand’s squad for a year now in a role as kicking coach, but the IRFU has since appointed a certain Jonathan Sexton to a similar brief.
