Stuart Lancaster has hit out at the perception that he did not do much hands-on coaching in his four years as England boss.The 46-year-old has joined Leinster as a member of their coaching team for the rest of the season, his first extended role since stepping down as England chief in November 2015 in the wake of his teams dismal World Cup campaign.Leinsters new senior coach, who will work under head coach Leo Cullen, has filled various short-term roles this summer for British Cycling, the Football Association, Atlanta Falcons and in New Zealand domestic rugby.?Lancaster, whose primary responsibility at Leinster is to coach defence, said: Ive coached virtually every part of the game, whether I go back to my teaching career til I was 30, but Ive coached now for 16 years.I think there was a perception in England that I probably didnt do any coaching.Andy Farrell clearly led on the defence when I was with England [but] I was coaching defence not less than three weeks ago in New Zealand.[At] Counties Manukau my main remit was to coach defence. So Ive got my own philosophy. Clearly its been influenced by the people Ive worked under as defence coaches. I watched Mike Ford when he was England defence coach, obviously Andy Farrell latterly, I worked with Paul Gustard in Argentina when he came with me.I think I understand a lot about defence but equally as I mentioned earlier on, Ive got a reasonably broad range and hopefully I can influence the attacking stuff as well and also reach down a bit to some of the academy work.I come from a player development background, my role in England was not just head coach, [I was] head of elite player development, and I like to think I can offer Leinster something in that regard as well.Lancasters opportunity to join the three-time European Cup winners, last terms Guinness PRO12 runners-up, came after former defence coach Kurt McQuilkin returned to New Zealand for family reasons. Although Lancasters main remit is defence, it is instructive that his title is senior coach and not defence coach.Cullen believes he has signed an all-rounder. I always follow people that I admire in the game, good people, said the former Ireland and Leinster lock.I want to bring a good person into the group first and foremost, people that have a quality skill set that can add to the group, not just from a defensive point of view but in a whole host of other areas.Straight away theres a big attraction there for having a candidate like Stuart here so Im absolutely delighted that hes decided to join here.Although Lancaster has coached at a higher level than Cullen, he said: Im more than happy to work underneath Leo because I dont know the club, I dont know the environment, I dont know the relationships and everything. It suits me down to the ground just to get back into coaching again. China Jerseys Cheap . Jeff Green scored 13 points and Kris Humphries 12 for the Celtics, who nearly blew an 18-point, second-half lead.

Playing while he appeals a 211-game suspension for violating baseballs drug agreement and labour contract, the New York Yankees star and his fleet of lawyers and representatives sparred with the Yankees and Major League Baseball over his medical care and evidence in the doping case that stems from MLBs investigation into Biogenesis, the now-closed Florida anti-aging clinic accused of distributing performance-enhancing drugs. "I think thats behind us now. Ive shut everything down," Rodriguez said. "I want everything to be 100 per cent on baseball and thats what I want my guys to focus on." Rodriguez was not in the Yankees lineup Wednesday night, a day after playing both games of a doubleheader against the Toronto Blue Jays. The teams will play a day game Thursday. "I felt I couldnt play him both tonight and tomorrow, its probably too much," manager Joe Girardi said. Rodriguezs change of public-relations strategy comes after a weekend in Boston that turned increasingly intense and bizarre. -- While the Yankees were playing the AL East-leading Red Sox, it was learned Rodriguez paid Florida-based attorney Susy Ribero-Ayala in February to represent Anthony Bosch, head of the Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic. ESPN first reported the deal. -- Rodriguezs newest lawyer, Joseph Tacopina, accused the Yankees of botching the sluggers medical care last post-season when the three-time MVP was benched and pinch hit for during a pitiful playoff performance. Rodriguez had left hip surgery in January. -- Team president Randy Levine basically dared A-Rod to file a grievance, and the slugger said his lawyers would ask the players union to do so. -- Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told reporters on the field in Boston that he felt "lied to" by Roddriguez regarding his medical care, and that he doesnt feel comfortable talking to one of the teams most important players because they are in "a litigious environment.dddddddddddd" -- Finally on Monday, MLB wrote to Tacopina, urging him to waive his clients confidentiality under baseballs Joint Drug Agreement so all the evidence relating to the drug case could be released. The letter was given to Tacopina on the "Today" show. Tacopina rejected the offer. "I think thats behind us now," Rodriguez said. "Out of respect to my team and my manager and my coaches we are in the middle of a pennant race. Were playing pretty well right now. We want to keep the focus on the field." Rodriguez wasnt free of controversy on the field, either. In the second inning of Sundays nationally televised game, Bostons Ryan Dempster threw three close pitches at Rodriguez before hitting him with another. Manager Joe Girardi was ejected for his outburst after Dempster was not ejected. The moment appeared to galvanize the team, and the third baseman led the charge with a long home run that kicked off a sixth inning rally. Dempster was suspended Tuesday for five games and fined $2,500. Rodriguez would not comment on the penalty. Rodriguez returned from hip surgery Aug. 5, the day he was suspended by MLB. The Yankees were swept three straight by the lowly Chicago White Sox in his first three games but have been on a tear since. Theyve won nine of 12 to creep back into the AL wild-card race -- 4 1/2 games back of the second spot. Rodriguez is batting .296 with two homers and six RBIs in 15 games. "I think if we keep doing what weve been doing the last two weeks -- I think were playing with a lot of energy, a lot of confidence, (getting) a lot of contributions from a lot of people," Rodriguez said. "I think we have an opportunity thats special and we want to put the focus on the field." ' ' '
