Joe Schmidt Belfast show lined up as legendary rugby coach shares stories of his life and career

Legendary former Ireland rugby coach Joe Schmidt is bringing his unique live show to Belfast.

Schmidt stepped down from the Irish helm at the end of the Rugby World Cup in Japan after losing out to New Zealand in the quarter-finals.

It brought the curtain down on a remarkable journey which saw Schmidt's Ireland win three Six Nations championships in six seasons, including the Grand Slam in 2018.

He also helped Ireland record their first ever wins over the All Blacks, and claim their first victory in South Africa, all en route to becoming the number one team in the world.

Add into the mix his two Heineken Cup successes in three seasons with Leinster, and you get a taste of Schmidt's legendary coaching skills.

Fans will get a chance to hear about all of these glorious moments, and more, when he discusses his highly anticipated memoir 'Ordinary Joe' in Belfast.

Schmidt will tell the story of his life and influences: the experiences and management ideas that made him the coach, and the man, that he is today.

And he will share intimate insights into the stresses and joys of coaching a national team in both victory and defeat, through the 2018 Grand Slam and the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

Joe Schmidt will be appearing at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast on Wednesday, December 4.

Tickets went on sale today, with every one sold including a copy of Joe Schmidt's autobiography 'Ordinary Joe'.

Ticket information can be found on the Waterfront Hall website HERE
