Ireland hooker Sean Cronin has revealed that he believes head coach Joe Schmidt is the world’s greatest coach after leading his team to Six Nations glory this year, according to a report on the Belfast Telegraph.
Schmidt has led Ireland to three Six Nations titles in five years and his remarkable record of winning has led to him being praised enormously by his players.
Schmidt can help Ireland secure their third ever Grand Slam this weekend by gaining victory over England at Twickenham and Cronin believes that he is the perfect man to lead them to glory.
He said:
He’s the best coach in the world, his results speak for themselves; three Championships in five years is incredible.
I’ve been involved with Joe for a long time, both at Leinster and Ireland. There’s not many coaches who can put that kind of motivational fear into you.
Chances to pull off a Grand Slam are few and far between. Guys are well aware these opportunities don’t come around very often. We can’t let an opportunity like this slip by.
Ireland have been in top form in the Six Nations so far this year and they have even moved above England in the world rankings into second place behind New Zealand.
England will be determined to deny Ireland their Grand Slam opportunity and we should be in for an explosive contest.
