Munster
On 11 May 2014, it was announced that Bleyendaal will join Irish province Munster on a three-year contract starting from 1 November 2014.[1] Due to a neck injury, Bleyendaal didn't arrive in Munster until January 2015.[2]
Bleyendaal made his return from the injury on 29 April 2015, starting for Munster A in their friendly against Ulster Ravens and completing 60 minutes.[3] He made his full debut for Munster on 5 September 2015, coming off the bench against Treviso.[4] In January 2016, Bleyendaal was ruled out for 12 weeks with a quadriceps tendon injury.[5]
On 22 October 2016, Bleyendaal scored 16 points, including a try, and won the Man-of-the-Match award in Munster's 38-17 win against Glasgow Warriors in Round 2 of the 2016–17 European Rugby Champions Cup, a match that was his European debut for the province.[6]
New Zealand U20
Bleyendaal captained New Zealand Under 20 to victory in the 2010 IRB Junior World Championship.[7]
