Tyler Bleyendaal: Last week shows why Leinster need stock of No.10s

Leinster’s depth chart has long been a source of debate in Irish rugby circles with the argument being that players, other provinces and the game as a whole would benefit more from moves away from Dublin, but resources can be stretched thin at short notice in rugby.

BATTLE OF THE TENS: Harry Byrne, Ciaran Frawley, Sam Prendergast and Ross Byrne have been battling it out for the number ten jersey at Leinster.

Leinster attack coach Tyler Bleyendaal believes the very different weeks put in by the province’s various No.10s shows why they require such strength in depth in various positions as they chase silverware on two fronts.

Sam Prendergast was again away on Ireland duties, where he started at out-half in the Six Nations win against Wales, but Ciaran Frawley and Harry Byrne both picked up head injuries in the Ireland ‘A’ defeat to England the next day.
