Ireland's Kiwi coach Joe Scmidt is earning rave reviews from his players, following the team's Six Nations, Grand Slam and Triple Crown success.
Having risen to number two in World Rugby's standings, Schmidt's Ireland have emerged as a genuine contender for next year's World Cup in Japan, with first-five Jonathan Sexton crediting the Kiwi mastermind.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Sexton outlined why Schmidt was having the success he is with the Irish side at the moment.
"How do I put this nicely? At times you are driven demented with him, but you know he is doing it for a reason - putting pressure on you in training, at meetings to make sure on Saturday every box is ticked.
"He is an incredible coach, his record speaks for itself."
"He keeps you on your toes."
