“You have to defend as well as attack,” said Lancaster. “You have got to make sure that you get the balance right. You have to kick against certain types of defence and in certain weather conditions. We don’t want to play with abandon every week and although I would like the 55 points every time, I don’t want the 35 against us. The Aviva Premiership final was a real good indicator to me of where we want to be at: marrying the best of those two teams, with the shape and structure of the Bath attack and the Saracens type of defence allied to the way they played and controlled the game. We have a lot of those qualities in our team, a lot of those players. So, it is about evolving the style.”
