Stuart Lancaster’s verdict on England’s latest ‘world of pain’ and the ‘plan B’ he would develop if he was in charge of the Springboks

Ex-England boss Stuart Lancaster has reacted to seeing his former team’s latest losing streak extend to five Test matches and added what he would do to make the Springboks even more dangerous if he were in Rassie Erasmus’ shoes.

Having succeeded Martin Johnson at the helm for the 2012 Six Nations, Lancaster stepped away from the England job following their failure to qualify from their pool for the knockout stages of the 2015 Rugby World Cup. He has since held positions with Leinster and Racing 92 before moving to Connacht after his bid to succeed Joe Schmidt as the Wallabies coach
