MELBOURNE (Reuters) -Joe Schmidt's looming departure as Wallabies head coach was a big reason for Noah Lolesio to ditch Australian rugby and play in Japan, the flyhalf said on Monday.
Lolesio confirmed last week he would leave the Canberra-based ACT Brumbies at the end of the Super Rugby Pacific season to take up a club contract overseas, a move that all but ends his chances of playing for the Wallabies again under Schmidt.
