New Leinster boss ‘will find structures in place for success’

It hasn’t been a season to remember for Leinster, but the job of head coach remains a highly attractive one, according to Eoin Reddan, who says the players, the squad and the system necessary for success are all still in place.

The scrum-half did admit yesterday that the players needed to shoulder some of the blame for Matt O’Connor’s premature departure last week and that it may be difficult for any coach to live up to the Joe Schmidt years “compared to the results” assembled in that spell.

Yet he dismissed that and any other factors as reasons why prospective coaches would pass on the opportunity to work at a club that has won so many trophies and still possesses such an impressive squad and supporting structures.
