Leinster attack coach Tyler Bleyendaal provides an update on the injuries affecting the team, including Tadhg Furlong, James Lowe, and others. Bleyendaal expresses optimism about Furlong's return before the international break and highlights the importance of a gradual return-to-play process for injured players.
Leinster’s defence and physicality have commandeered more headlines of late, but as attack coach, Bleyendaal points to the communality of the effort to fine tune the team’s patterns
“The good thing about last week was the training week so we could integrate those guys safely, there was no pressure, so now we’re ramping up his intensity and we have to see how he recovers from those sessions and assess him later in the week. He’s allowed to train. We’re hopeful to have him back with us before the international break anyway.”
Leinster’s defence and physicality have commandeered more headlines in the analysis stakes of late, but as the attack coach, Bleyendaal pointed to the communality of the effort to fine tune all aspects of the team’s patterns. “Big-picture-wise, we’re still scoring points, we’re getting the opportunities, we’re very clinical at times and we’re getting points from that. I think we can just do a better job sooner or more effectively. Myself and Jacques work closely together.
Bleyendaal pointed to the fact that in reality he’s only had the full squad with its international contingent for six weeks, maybe four games, and that there’s a balance to be struck in the evolution of the attack.
