When Leinster called, Munster links didn't give Tyler Bleyendall reason to pause

Bleyendall said there is not a "defined hierarchy" of Leinster's out-halves, Ross Byrne, Harry Byrne, Ciaran Frawley and Sam Prendergast.

Tyler Bleyendaal says his old Munster links didn’t give pause for thought when their rivals Leinster came calling earlier this year and offered him the chance to join their multinational coaching staff in Dublin.

The New Zealander joined Munster from the Crusaders in 2015. A highly-regarded out-half, he played just 62 times for the province through an injury-hit spell before being forced to retire in 2020 due to a neck injury.
