The final is inside the domestic calendar, so Lancaster has no say in who gets to play in the final. He certainly isn't accommodating the clubs. Players are technically available for the first game, it's just that they won't have trained enough with the squad to be seriously considered. (Whether Lancaster might consider rushing one or two key players back is another matter.) The fault here lies with the organisers of the international game, who should have been aware that it's regular for the Premiership final to occur late in May. Every game should have been pushed back to allow for those in the final to have trained with the squad. Clubs from the Aviva Premiership don't owe the international game anything for this.</p></blockquote><p></p>
