Mick O’Driscoll happy with Tyler Bleyendaal's first run out for Munster

Munster A 41 Ulster Ravens 27: Kiwi outhalf Tyler Bleyendaal made his long-awaited Munster debut for the province’s second string during a 41-27 victory against the Ulster Ravens at Naas yesterday.

Composed and confident throughout, Bleyendaal got through an hour unscathed. After kicking his second conversion on a windy afternoon at Forenaughts, the 24-year-old made his departure just shy of the hour mark.

“For us to get him through 60 minutes is super,” said Munster A coach Mick O’Driscoll. “All going well and he comes out of this tomorrow okay, we can push (him) on a little and who knows, he might even feature this season.”
