Andrew Goodman believes 'there’s lots more to come' as he looks to bring Leinster's attack to the next level.
YESTERDAY MORNING, A Leinster squad fresh from recording a convincing 49-14 win at Gloucester sat in a meeting with assistant coach Andrew Goodman and were told they needed to sharpen up their attacking game.
Some of that may be the result of a squad still getting familiar with new ideas. The highly-rated Goodman joined the province from Super Rugby’s Crusaders last summer, and has been cautious not to rip up the playbook at a club that have played some of the most exciting attacking rugby in Europe over the last few seasons.
But that little try that the forwards came up with was pretty special as well. To go through untouched like that was pretty cool. I’ve got a little group of forwards to work with on those variations they are pulling off on those quick-taps. It’s great to see the players having a great input and for something like that to come off for them.” For both scores, it was backrower Caelan Doris who played the decisive pass.

Laszlo Geczo / INPHO / INPHO Goodman provided a positive update on the fitness of both Johnny Sexton and Tadhg Fulong ahead of Ireland’s opening fixture against Wales on 4 February. Obviously non-contact at this stage but it’s one of those injuries where he’s been able to do all of his running, his skill work, he’s been involved in everything apart from the contact aspect of the game, so he’ll build that over the next couple of weeks and I’m sure he’ll be great to go.
