England captain Chris Robshaw admits the criticism he received for some of his decisions during the autumn internationals left him feeling "a bit down".
Backing up
While the defeat of the All Blacks was a huge boost for Robshaw and the rest of the squad, he acknowledges they must now forget the past and focus on this year's RBS Six Nations.
"We're a relatively young squad and are starting to get that bit more experience," he added.
"Last season we were a new squad, new coaches and no one knew what to expect from us. Now we have a bit more experience and everyone knows what a Six Nations involves.
"There might become a bit more pressure because of the autumn, but it's about dealing with that.
"It's a different type of situation that everyone's very excited about. It's about backing up what we did last year."
