Ireland’s backs coach has worked closely with a number of the All Blacks’ staff and players.
FRIDAY NIGHT’S BLOCKBUSTER meeting with New Zealand will be a pinch yourself moment for Ireland backs coach Andrew Goodman .
Goodman shadowed Catt on Ireland’s summer tour to South Africa but this block of November internationals will represent the first chance to make the job his own. First up, a date with his native New Zealand that will stir up a mix of emotions. Goodman knows many faces in the All Blacks camp well, having coached with Tasman Mako and the Crusaders before making the move to Ireland.Advertisement Will Jordan has a strike rate of 36 tries in 38 Tests.

Like the man himself, the 26-year-old’s hot streak in the black jersey continues to accelerate, with Jordan finishing a slick team move in New Zealand’s defeat of England in Twickenham on Saturday.Sensational rugby from the @AllBlacks!#AutumnNationsSeries | #ENGvNZL pic.twitter.com/nhnC2Etcri “So we have to talk about where he is the whole time and identify him, see where he could pop up and try to make an impact.”
