Joe Schmidt has been linked with a sensational return to Irish rugby.
The former Ireland head coach is reportedly being considered for the position of IRFU Performance Director when David Nucifora steps down at the end of the year.
The Australian has held the role since 2014 and is expected to leave once his contract expires at the end of this year. He signed a short-term extension in October 2022 through to the end of the 2023 World Cup.
