Robin McBryde believes Denis Leamy’s past successes as a Munster player will be of huge benefit to Leinster now that the former flanker has joined Leo Cullen’s coaching ticket.

Leinster announced Leamy’s appointment as contact skills coach yesterday, a position he has taken up with the departure during the summer of Hugh Hogan. Leamy was already on the books with the province as an elite development officer.
