Mike Prendergast tips Tyler Bleyendaal to be success at Leinster

“I remember when I was in France coaching when Tyler was a player here, he was a very influential character in terms of his knowledge and what he brought and I’m sure as a coach he’s been the same,” said Prendergast.

Tyler Bleyendaal will be the second player who Munster brought to Ireland from the southern hemisphere who will be in the camp of arch rivals Leinster next season, and Mike Prendergast says that all the indications are that the New Zealander will be a big success.

Bleyendaal, who played 62 times for Munster during an injury-disrupted period from 2015 until he was forced to retire with a neck injury in 2020, is joining Leinster as an assistant coach.
