  • Intro:

    England head coach Stuart Lancaster promises changes to his side, after South Africa beat England 31-28 at Twickenham Stadium in London, England, on Saturday (15th November).

    Script:

    Stuart Lancaster, England Head Coach:
    "We have already in our mind thought about changes that we would like to make. Because for us this series is obviously about winning - first and foremost. We have not achieved that in the first two games but it's also about learning and developing as a group as we lead into the World Cup. We have got 10 games to go now. And those things are important. Because we need to narrow it down in our minds who the guys are that when the white hot pressure comes on in 11 months time - who can deliver."

    Stuart Lancaster, England Head Coach:
    "I think we have played the top two sides in the world now. And that's the benchmark for us. We have never said that we are the finished article. We always knew when we took the roles back in 2012 - we have got to take a young group of players and take them through some tough environments. We went to South Africa first up obviously this series - obviously the New Zealand series was always going to be tough given the circumstances we were presented with. Playing New Zealand first up was always going to be tough. We are not going to sit here, and we never have, that we are feeling sorry for ourselves. Because actually I believe in the coaches. I believe in the players. I believe in what we are doing. It hurts to lose. It hurts to lose at Twickenham. But the hurt can make sure we turn it into a positive and make sure that the next game is the most important one but equally for me it's about who can and who can't deliver in 11 months time because that's when it really does matter."
