Stuart Lancaster on why the result of Saturday's Champions Cup final 'won’t define' his time with Leinster.
IN THE SEVEN years Stuart Lancaster has called Dublin home, the Leinster senior coach hasn’t felt the need to have a television in his flat.
It’s quite a way for Lancaster to sign off – a Heineken Champions Cup final against La Rochelle on home soil. A win would put to bed the demons of last year’s final and the various disappointments since Leinster last won the tournament in 2018, but Lancaster says he’ll always be proud of the work he’s done since arriving at the province in 2016, even if they don’t get over the line this weekend.
It’s clear that Leinster, and Ireland, has made a huge impression on the 53-year-old, and asked to expand on his desire to come back, Lancaster confirms he’d like to coach in this part of the world again some day.“Definitely. It definitely feels like a big step to leave for me, personally.
“So, yeah. You never say never to anything, really, but I’m obviously committed for the next four years so we’ll see how we go.”
