Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) England coach Stuart Lancaster (How would you assess it in terms of progress over the last 12 months)

"Well huge progress. We played this game last year and we won 18-11 at home at Twickenham and scored six penalties. We've come here, I don't think any team won by this scoreline, we've done that on the back of a Sunday game against an opposition that emotionally and physically for the players has taken a lot from them, and it's a young team with an average age of 24. So when you put everything into perspective, I think we've made great progress. We haven't got everything right in every game but our intent to attack, the quality of our defence and our set piece have been excellent ".
