Ahead of the start of the United Rugby Championship season for Leinster on Friday week away to the DHL Stormers in Cape Town, Leinster Rugby Head Coach, Leo Cullen, has confirmed a number of changes to his backroom team and new contracts for his Senior Coaches.
At an open training session in Wicklow RFC today, where the squad met with local schoolkids and supporters, Cullen confirmed that Robin McBryde, Jacques Nienaber and Tyler Bleyendaal had all signed contract extensions with Leinster until the end of the 2026/27 season.
Talking to Leinster Rugby.ie about the changes, Cullen said, “I think we can all appreciate the work that Robin, Jacques and Tyler have done, but also the mark that they have left and are leaving on Leinster in their time here.
“They have all brought tons of relevant experience and a different perspective to how we do things, and I think that’s hugely important for the development of our group, that we hear other voices and other ways of operating.
