Stuart Lancaster has not given the idea of taking over from Andy Farrell much consideration, but did not close the door on succeeding his former assistant as Ireland coach. Lancaster was sacked by Racing 92 midway through last season and has since taken the Connacht head coach role. He signed a contract that brings him to 2027 and is preparing for his first match in charge against Benetton on Saturday. The appointment represents Lancaster's return to club coaching and establishes a multi-year commitment to Connacht.
