Leinster have tunnel vision for Croke Park clash with Harlequins

Robin McBryde hasn’t had any contact about the vacant Wales head coaching role. And he hasn’t been approached about giving Ireland a dig-out on a summer tour that will go ahead while Andy Farrell and the bones of his brains trust are on Lions duties in Australia.

“No, Seánie [O’Brien]’s going isn’t he? Is he? That’s the rumour,” the Leinster scrum coach said on Monday with a glint in his eye. “I’m just poking it a little bit. I haven’t had any contact, no.” The Welshman has eyes for just one job right now.
