Cron has been coaching for more than 30 years, most notably in New Zealand where he was an assistant with the All Blacks for more than 200 Tests.

Having spent time working across six continents, Cron has also been a consultant with World Rugby in recent years.

“Mike has added tremendous value in every programme he has been involved with and brings a wealth of knowledge to our coaching group,” Schmidt said.

Cron joins veteran forwards coach Laurie Fisher on Schmidt’s team.

Bringing two decades of professional coaching experience to his second stint with the national side, Fisher previously held an assistant role in 2022 under Dave Rennie. The Wallabies on Tuesday also confirmed Chris Thomson has been appointed as team manager.

Thomson joins the Wallabies from the ACT Brumbies, where he has been working in the role of general manager of professional rugby and pathways since 2022. He was previously employed at World Rugby in the high-performance and player development units after a stint as general manager of the Fijian Drua.

“Knowing Chris from his time at World Rugby, he will work extremely hard behind the scenes to make sure we are well organised from an off-field perspective,” added Schmidt.

Louis Lynagh makes 2 bold England predictions

I am Krissy by name, greetings to everyone reading this testimony. I have been rejected by my husband after six years of marriage because another woman had a spell on him and he left me and the 3 kids to suffer. One day when I was reading through the web, I saw a post on how this spell caster on this contact drakerecospellcaster@gmail.com or WhatsApp: +2202890676 has helped a woman to get back her husband and I gave him a reply to his contacts and he told me that a woman had a spell on my husband and he told me that he will help me and after two days, I will have my husband back. I believed him and today I am glad to let you all know that this spell caster called Dr. Akereco, has the power to bring lovers back and help you in any situation. I'm happy with my husband. Thanks for Dr. Akereco.
