No surprise whatsoever. Contepomi is obviously a bit more switched on than Pete Wilkins is. How many more weeks is this spoofer going to pull the wool over the eyes of Wilkins and Connacht rugby.
@Ray Ridge: Read the article not the headline…you’re only proving how much of a spoofer you lol
@anthony davoren: I don’t need to read anything. I just need to look at his efforts in the 6 URC rounds to date. He’s just going through the motions out there at the expense of up and coming home-made talent. It has to stop.
Leinsters attack under Contepomi and Lancaster in the 21/22 season was peak. Goodman was a downgrade on Contepomi clearly and also looks a downgrade on Mike Catt. The worrying thing is that players in the Leinster camp have said Bleyendal is similar to Goodman.
@Eoin H: give him a chance for f sake.
Same thing was said about A.F when he was announced. Failed under schmidt in 19 and Lancaster in 15. Mike Catt was also not up to the job.
Gotta wait till this time next year at the earliest to know if Goodman is the right fit for ireland
