Wales forwards coach Robin McBryde is being seen as a contender for a post-World Cup job with Leinster.
The Heineken Champions Cup holders are expected to need a new scrum chief, with incumbent John Fogarty tipped for a job with Ireland.
McBryde and Hurricanes scrum specialist Dan Cron have emerged as leading candidates for the job, according to the Irish Independent.
Leinster are said to have already started the search for someone to succeed Fogarty, who is on course to work under Andy Farrell after the current Irish defence coach takes over the reins from national chief Joe Schmidt.
New Zealand media accuse Wales of extreme exploitation of rules amid eligibility debate
McBryde has been part of the Wales set-up since 2006, when he worked under Gareth Jenkins.
He was retained when Warren Gatland took after the 2007 World Cup and has acted as caretaker coach three times while Gatland and Rob Howley have been away with the Lions.
His stock has improved steadily during his time with Wales, with Grand Slams banked in 2008, 2012 and 2019 and the Welsh pack earning respect under his command.
During his most recent time as acting head coach, he led Wales to wins over Tonga and Samoa, confounding those who had expected the tour to prove difficult for a depleted squad.
The former hooker who once came second in a poll to name the greatest north Walian commands significant respect in the Wales set-up. Capped 37 times, he featured in the 2005 Grand Slam side, appearing off the bench in four of the games, heading into coaching the following season.

Cron has been with the Hurricanes since 2011 and helped them to the Super Rugby title in 2016.
The son of world-renowned scrum doctor Mike Cron, who worked with Wales at the 2003 World Cup, he has also worked in Japan and with the Samoan national team.
