ANDREW GOODMAN insists he has not seen any glaring issues with Leinster’s attack.

It is an area of their game that has come under the microscope recently.

Despite having numerous entries into the opposition’s 22 over the course of a contest that ran for 100-plus minutes, Leinster only managed a single try — an extra-time effort by Josh van der Flier — in their Champions Cup final defeat to Toulouse last month.

While the arrival of Jacques Nienaber as senior coach was always going to lead to an increased emphasis on defence.

It has been suggested in some quarters that Leinster’s attacking play may have suffered as a result.

Yet speaking as the man who is in charge of this side of the game for the province — and is set to begin a similar role with the Ireland senior side later this year — Goodman responded to talk of their attack going backwards.

He said: “I did see that after the game.

“When you look back at the game in terms of how much play we created and opportunities we created compared to Toulouse, it was massive.

“I think if we had executed a couple of those opportunities in the first half, that takes a bit of the wind out of their sails and it gives you a little bit more.

“You can’t underestimate the momentum that can give a team when you execute one or two of those opportunities.

“As I think has been said, there’s definitely not a change, in terms of the boys are still driving the same as what they have been doing.

“Unfortunately, we didn’t get the execution right in that game on the biggest stage.

“Which was a shame but we are driving our attack standards and looking to play the Leinster way as much and as often as we ever have.

“I think we just need to execute better when we get the ball.”

Leinster — who are finally set to welcome Garry Ringrose back following a lengthy spell on the sidelines — are aiming to strike the right balance this weekend in what they hope will be the first of three knockout games in the URC.

The Aviva Stadium is the venue this Saturday as the Blues take on Ulster in the quarter- finals.

Should they come out on top at Lansdowne Road, Leinster could find themselves in Pretoria the following weekend — provided the Bulls come through their own last-eight duel with Benetton on Saturday.

There is also just 18 days to go until the final takes place but given Ulster enjoyed home and away wins over Leinster during the regular URC season, Goodman is trying not to look too far ahead.

All going to plan for Leinster, a final showdown with Munster is on the cards — and a chance at revenge for last year’s semi-final defeat to the Reds.

Goodman continued: “It’s a great challenge. All we are focusing on this week is a fired-up Ulster who have beaten us twice.

“We have just come off the final defeat, so there is plenty of motivation around this building as well. There is no complacency or anything.

“We are full throttle, looking to make sure we get a great performance, which is going to lead to an outcome.

“If we get off to South Africa, we get off to South Africa. We just get into it and what a way to finish the season if we can get it done.”
