Stuart Lancaster has stressed the need to maintain their intensity after England's sensational victory over New Zealand.

Lancaster had time to reflect on the progress his young squad has made despite their two recent setbacks.
"Rugby's fairly simple. If you get a good culture, a good environment, good players, good coaches and if you work hard enough you'll get results," he added.
"I believe in the players we've got. We have lads like Joe Launchbury and Jonathan Joseph and Owen Farrell and Freddie Burns who are 21, 22 and 23 years old.
"They should be playing for England for years and we should be sat here in 10 years' time and still have the same group of lads with 800 caps (instead of 206) in our starting XV.
"And we've got good players to come back into the equation for the Six Nations, like Dylan Hartley, Tom Croft and Ben Foden.
"The coaches are outstanding. The environment we've got is a strong one and it held together under pressure and we kept believing. To get that scalp is a fantastic scalp."
