Murray Kinsella and former Ireland performance analyst Eoin Toolan discuss Joe Schmidt’s potential influence on Saturday’s quarter-final.
ON SATURDAY, IRELAND will provide more familiar opposition to New Zealand than is true of the reverse.
“Look, he might have a thing on a couple of individuals but we are certainly not the same team that played under Joe.” Advertisement The 42 Podcasts · 'No one better than Joe Schmidt at exploiting weaknesses' “When Joe came into the Irish setup in ’13, the detail we went into in terms of the New Zealand players’ strengths — but probably more importantly, weaknesses… He had a deep understanding of the New Zealand players and he probably took them off the pedestal a little bit,” Toolan explained.
Speaking of the All Blacks’ attack, which has markedly improved since New Zealand’s 2-1 series defeat to Ireland last summer, Kinsella said: “Often, you know exactly what’s coming but you don’t know what option they’re going to take. In that sense, they share a similarity with Ireland.“I know all the talk this week has been that he knows the Irish players — and of course he does; he knows every player in the world because he watches every single clip in the world.
Of Ireland versus New Zealand, Kinsella added: “It absolutely is going to take another level from Ireland than what it took last year. They’re completely aware of that.
