Joe Schmidt to be removed from All-Black coaching ticket as Munster legend drafted in

Joe Schmidt will not be in the New Zealand coaching ticket after the World Cup, it has been confirmed.

The former Ireland boss is in the All Blacks setup but will leave his role after this year's World Cup.

Schmidt joined Ian Foster's coaching staff last year in the build-up to their test series against Ireland.

But he has not been included in Scott Robertson's backroom team although Munster legend Johnny Holland is on the coaching ticket.

Robertson will keep on current forwards coach Jason Ryan and be joined by Leon MacDonald, Scott Hansen and Holland.

The Cork man retired from Rugby in 2016 through injury.

Schmidt has not taken a head coaching role since departing as Ireland boss in 2019.

The Rugby World Cup kicks off at the beginning of September and run all the way through until the end of October.
