Leinster assistant coach Robin McBryde is convinced that Andrew Goodman has all the necessary tools to be a major success on the international stage with Ireland.

With Mike Catt set to depart in the wake of next year’s summer tour in South Africa, Andy Farrell was on the lookout for a new attack specialist within his Ireland coaching set-up. Although he only joined Leinster in advance of the 2022/23 season, it was announced last week that Goodman is to fill the void that will be left by the former England international in 2024.
