New Zealand Rugby CEO Mark Robinson believes Joe Schmidt won't be lost to Australian rugby when he steps down as head coach at the end of the Rugby Championship

Schmidt was initially contracted until the end of the British and Irish Lions series, but extended for a further three months.

While no official announcements have been made about his future, Robinson believes Schmidt's focus won't return to opportunities on THIS side of the Tasman.
