Stuart Lancaster: Approaching one year in the England job

Saturday's Twickenham Test against Fiji is the precursor to a run of games against southern hemisphere heavyweights Australia, South Africa and New Zealand.

And, after a year spent steadying the ship in the wake of England's poor World Cup, head coach Lancaster has told his players it is time to deliver.

He said: "This challenge against the top three in the world is the strongest one we have faced.

"We are confident. We have prepared well. I've said to the players it's production time now.

"We've got some continuity, we've got some consistency in terms of selection and the coaching team and we've spent some time together. The foundations are strong. Now we want to deliver."
