Stuart Lancaster: England's future looks bright after Six Nations success Someone like (Wasps lock) Joe Launchbury coming in to train with the squad - there's a plan there. We've got 37 games between now and the next World Cup and we have got to make sure we use them effectively. Lancaster's appointment is far from guaranteed. RFU chief executive Ian Ritchie has insisted all along that results alone would not dictate whether he gets the job. The RFU are thought to have targeted their recruitment towards a coach with the experience of taking a leading nation into a World Cup. They first contacted Mallett in December. But Lancaster believes he has all the qualities required for the job following his time at Leeds and within the RFU's academy structure. "Part of the dynamic of international coaching is to get the best of out people and to build a team and culture that people buy into," he said. If you look at our performances, I think we've done that. Meanwhile, England are waiting to discover whether one of their players will face disciplinary action for allegedly biting the finger of Ireland flanker Stephen Ferris. The accusation was made to referee Nigel Owens in the 28th minute of England's 30-9 victory at Twickenham. The independent citing commissioner Alberto Recalbini, from Italy, has until 6.30pm tonight to study all incidents in the match and decide whether to cite any players. Owens did not see the alleged incident but said to the two captains, Chris Robshaw and Rory Best: "I have an accusation of biting, a clear mark on the finger. Under International Rugby Board regulations, the lowest entry level suspension for biting is 12 weeks with the maximum being four years.
