UK view: English media aim up at Stuart Lancaster's men after five straight losses to All Blacks, Springboks Stuart Lancaster is facing enormous pressure from the English media. NOT long ago, Australia was the laughing stock of international rugby, with global media - particularly the English - sticking the boot into our much-maligned Wallabies after three straight losses, the fall of Ewen McKenzie and the Kurtley Beale-Di Patston saga. How times have changed, with the English media now turning on their own "shambles" of a team. England's 31-28 loss to South Africa on Saturday night was their fifth straight international defeat and they host Samoa and then Australia in their next two Tests. After England was trounced 3-0 in New Zealand in June, the All Blacks ventured to Twickenham on November 8 and downed them 24-21, before the Springboks added to coach Stuart Lancaster's misery last weekend. Times are tough for England coach Stuart Lancaster. Lancaster admitted to the UK Telegraph that time was running out to build an outfit capable of winning the World Cup on home soil. We've had five games against the top two sides in the world and we've not been smashed in any of them. In a lot of ways we've been reasonably dominant in lots of areas against them," said Lancaster. Clearly the pressure is on because we've not achieved our objective. The excuse of narrowly losing to top teams, or that of the team being in a development phase has not washed with the English media. Writing for the Daily Mail, World Cup winning England coach Sir Clive Woodward came out swinging, suggesting talk of development for the future needed to be replaced with an insistence on immediate performance and results. Rugby powerhouse South Africa pulled out all the party tricks against England, producing this brilliant try to extend their lead. "Let's hear no talk about 2019 in the next 10 months from anyone within the England camp," Woodward wrote. This team have lost five matches in a row and need to get back to winning ways, starting with Samoa on Saturday. A large chunk of this squad will not even make it through to 2019 and this endless talk of development, learning, number of caps and the future is disrespectful to them. It is also disrespectful to the fans who pay a lot of money to go to Twickenham. They want to see results, not a development exercise. Their one chance at World Cup glory is 2015, that is their Holy Grail and it should be everyone's. The way you get there is by making every match from now a knockout game. World Cup winning coach Clive Woodward has aimed up at England's current crop of rugby stars. Chris Foy, also in the Daily Mail, described the Red Rose as "a shambles" and said the nation's rugby chiefs will be in "inquest mode" this week to uncover what has gone wrong. "This was their 12th consecutive match without a win against the Springboks, also stretching back eight years," Foy wrote. Instead of building momentum for next year's tournament, England are struggling to maintain standards set in Stuart Lancaster's tenure as head coach. Foy identified a number of areas in which England's performances had been lacking against the All Blacks and springboks recently: Ball control, decision making, halves combinations, kicking, the wingers, the breakdown, poor attitude and surrendering the home advantage. In other words, everything. England captain Chris Rodshaw looks dejected after losing to South Africa. The poor displays at Twickenham are a concern for The Telegraph's Mick Cleary. "The so-called fortress is under a Rorke's Drift siege but England are firing only blanks," Cleary wrote. Once again, there was fretfulness and dejection in the air as the crowd spilled out into a damp Saturday evening muttering and moaning. ... there was only a three-point margin on the scoreboard, but the sinking heart knew differently. This was another beating. Drowning sorrows was top of the agenda. However, The Telegraph's Brian Moore called for calm in the wake of England's worst run in eight years. England lost four consecutive matches to the All Blacks. I have never seen any management guru recommend panic as a useful management tool, added to which, what will his squad think if at the first sign of serious pressure Lancaster completely changes direction? Moore wrote. Moore says that while many critics are unwilling to accept such a string of results, a look at the broader picture would cut the Englishmen a bit of slack. In the past six games against the All Blacks the Springboks have lost five and won one; Australia have lost five and drawn one; England have lost five and won one. The other four major northern hemisphere teams have lost all six. Were there calls in those six countries to panic? No, because it is a dull suggestion. England face Samoa this weekend and while they will be heavily fancied to break their losing streak against the island nation, their season-ending fixture against the Wallabies in a fortnight shapes as the best guide to both nations" World Cup hopes.
