Lancaster has selected an inexperienced side for Saturday's Test against Fiji at Twickenham, the first of four autumn internationals.

But he remains determined to emulate New Zealand and end the need for England coaches to constantly rebuild the team at the start of every new World Cup cycle.

"When I took over in December we needed to bring through a new generation of players because we had a significant number of the World Cup squad who were post-30," Lancaster said.

"Someone said the All Blacks don't go through that period of renewal, it is a gradual drip-feed of new players - and that is where we should be from now on.

"I don't see England in the next eight to 12 years going through the sort of change we have had to go through.

"The Fiji game is the start of a huge four-week journey for us that will test us in every way. It is about putting a marker down at the start of this four-game series.

"The inexperience is not a concern or a risk because we delivered good performances in the Six Nations and that experience will grow with every game.

"By the time 2015 comes around they will hopefully have 30-odd caps under their belt and we end with a team that is peaking with the age between 25 and 30."
