Leinster are bracing themselves for the potential loss of Stuart Lancaster at the end of the season.
Already planning on being without skipper and talisman Johnny Sexton after the World Cup, it was reported tonight that Lancaster, 52, is poised to agree terms over the weekend with Racing 92 boss Jacky Lorenzetti to move to Paris next summer.
The former England supremo has been a hugely positive force for Leinster, working alongside head coach Leo Cullen as the province's senior coach since joining in September 2016.
