It is believed that the IRFU has confirmed an approached for Joe Schmidt with a view to him becoming the next Ireland head coach.

The Leinster coach has been the firm favourite to replace Declan Kidney, but an IRFU official claims that a final decision has not been made yet despite the approach.

Schmidt has a deal with Leinster which runs until 2014 and said that he has never broken a contract. But he also indicated that he may be interested in the Ireland role.
