I come from a player development background."The former England head coach said his primary aim is to help "Leinster Rugby become the dominant force in Europe again and obviously go one better." Lancaster resigned from his role with England last November, after four years in the job, following the host country's exit in the pool stages of the Rugby World Cup.
