Ireland rugby head coach Joe Schmidt to give keynote address in Derry

Ireland rugby head coach Joe Schmidt will be in Derry tomorrow to attend an event being hosted by the local Chamber of Commerce.

He will be the key note speaker at the Chamber’s President’s Breakfast being held in the Everglades Hotel in the Waterside from 8.30am to 10.30am.

New Zealand-born Schmidt (pictured) led Ireland to two Six Nations Championships in two years.

In his first head coaching role in Europe, he brought unprecedented success to Leinster, reaching six finals and winning four trophies in three years.

He was previously an assistant coach with the Blues and Clermont Auvergne.

Schmidt was born and grew up in New Zealand and became an Irish citizen in 2015 last year.

Tickets for tomorrow’s event are priced at £35 for members and £70 for non members (includes full Irish gourmet breakfast).
