Rugby-Australia want Schmidt signature in two weeks

Hindustan Times  

MELBOURNE, - Rugby Australia wants Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt's signature on a contract extension by the start of the Super Rugby competition on Feb. 14, Chief Executive Phil Waugh said on Thursday. HT Image Schmidt is currently contracted up to the end of the British and Irish Lions series in August but after positive signs for the Wallabies in the New Zealander's first season in charge, RA hopes to lock him in through to the 2027 World Cup on home soil. Waugh said the process had taken longer than their "ambition" to pin Schmidt down by Christmas. Waugh said RA was happy to be "creative" in framing a long-term role for Schmidt, who did not commit to a long-term deal amid concerns over the health of his son who lives with a severe form of epilepsy.
