Wasn’t it last year - or even this year - a few of the rugby hacks got the hump with Joe after he abandoned some long held tradition of the head coach having a quick chat with a few of them straight after matches?

Yes. I think he was peeved that they were publishing leaked teams and injury details or something

Wouldn’t have been his biggest fan when he was with England and took on a lot of the attack elements of the game plan. Hopefully he has evolved under Schmidt.
