This Joe Schmidt speech is so inspirational it'll make you want to tackle the nearest Frenchman

You would commit murder for Joe Schmidt after watching this ad.

IF YOU WERENโ€™T already ridiculously excited for Ireland vs France tomorrow, the people at 3 have put together an ad so inspirational that it will make you want to dump tackle the nearest Frenchman.

I wonโ€™t give too much away except these two tidbits:

  1. Paul Oโ€™Connell boshes a rhino.
  2. Paul Oโ€™Connell BOSHES a bloody rhino!

Joe Schmidt comes across as an astute tactician rather than a master motivator but that speech ticked all the boxes. And between Oโ€™Connell and Schmidt you might have missed that Robbie Henshaw was squatting a flaming barbell. Pretty impressive for a young lad albeit a little reckless by the Irish management to allow it so close to a match.

Also, taking on a rhino โ€“ easier or harder than taking down Mathieu Bastareaud?

Itโ€™s been five years since the Toulon Tank took on BOD โ€“ and made beating him look easy

    I hope Steve Kean is out of his misery there soon with a big pay off. Their fans sound like a right bunch.
