Lancaster will take up the role in time for the beginning of pre-season training in July, and will be formally presented to the media and wider Connacht supporters next month.
Fantastic to see this after a tough Season. This along with the HPC being opened and the New Stand opening next year, it's starting to feel good again 😁
Think he's the perfect man for the job!!! Best of luck and welcome to the west Stuart!!!
