With their first URC match against Edinburgh approaching, Leinster are juggling squad depth and managing the workload of returning internationals. While early rounds provide opportunities for rising talents, the increasing competition later in the season creates challenges for player development.
WITH THEIR FIRST assignment of the new URC season fast approaching, Leinster are already deep into the business of planning how to best manage their resources across the course of the campaign.
The early rounds tend to be a good opportunity for the province’s rising talents to showcase their talents but as the weeks progress, those chances can become increasingly scare, particularly when the Champions Cup gets going and international windows usher in breaks in the URC season.“We’ve discussed this as coaches here,” McBryde says.
“It’s very hard,” McBryde continues, “because you’re trying to service them and do them justice because they’re all working hard, they’re all chomping at the bit, but the reality is, if you’re involved in this region, then you’re not going to get that many opportunities. “The mentality that they have; they pride themselves on certain aspects, the set-piece; definitely hoping some of that Top 14 mentality will rub off on the youngsters,” says McBryde.
