Not again.
Ireland’s preparations have been dealt a blow ahead of this morning’s final Test with Australia due to a road closure that caused Ireland’s bus to arrive 15 minutes late to the Allianz Stadium.
You might remember this happened Ireland ahead of their shock opening day defeat to Scotland at Murrayfield in the 2017 Six Nations. Schmidt noted after that game that they arrived eight minutes late, throwing off his incredibly meticulous preparations.
Hopefully we won’t see a similar outcome today with the bus being almost twice as late this time, but Schmidt once again is furious with what has happened ahead of such a crucial fixture.
Apparently the change of route for the Irish team bus was due to a protest. Meant it took 30 minutes and 15 minutes late. My taxi driver did it in 15. Mins you, he did some neat moves and fairly shifted!
