Stuart Lancaster has committed his immediate future to Leinster ahead of their European Champions Cup Final against Racing 92.

Former England head coach Lancaster, originally from Culgaith, had been linked with a move to Aviva Premiership outfit Harlequins to replace director of rugby John Kingston who will leave at the end of the season.

But senior coach Lancaster, who has impressed since he joined Leinster in 2016 after being dismissed as national coach following England’s poor performance at the 2015 Rugby World Cup, is solely focused on preparing his side for tomorrow’s final in Bilbao (5.45pm kick-off).

“I have had no communication from Quins and I have certainly not proactively put myself forward for it,” said the Penrith-born man.

“One, I am 100 per cent committed here and two it would be 100 per cent the wrong thing to do: to start talking about trying to win something at Leinster and at the same time be trying to create opportunities elsewhere.

“I wouldn’t even contemplate doing it. For me, it’s all about Leinster.”

The 48-year-old currently commutes to Dublin from his home in Leeds but, for now, is not looking for a change of scene.

He said at a Leinster press day: “I will just see how it goes.

“I enjoyed working in England and coaching England; it was a fantastic experience and I have great memories.

“But, equally, to come over here, coach in the PRO14 and Ireland has been fantastic.

“Whether it [Lancaster’s next job] is in France, the southern hemisphere or I stay here for 10 years – who knows?”

Stuart’s son, Dan, is a Yorkshire Carnegie Academy player who played for Scotland Under-18s this year.

Both Dan and Stuart, who played for Scotland’s Under-19s and Scotland’s Students, qualify to play for the country through Stuart’s mother, Ann, who is from Dumfries.
