Leinster have named former Munster player of the year Tyler Bleyendaal as their replacement next season for Ireland-bound backs coach Andrew Goodman.

Former fly-half Bleyendaal, 33, is currently attack coach with the Hurricanes in his native New Zealand. He has been coaching with the Wellington-based Super Rugby franchise since being recruited by Jason Holland having been forced to retire from the game in 2020 due to a neck injury that recurred throughout his five years playing with Munster.
