England head coach Stuart Lancaster has revealed that he is setting strict discipline behaviour standards for his side's tour of South America this summer.

Over a third of the 31-man party are on their first senior tour and the Red Rose boss is keen for them to treat the honour seriously.

Lancaster is eager to avoid a repeat of off-field antics which marred their 2008 tour of New Zealand and 2011 World Cup campaign.

"They are representing their country and we talked about what it looks like to be a good England player on and off the field," Lancaster told Sky Sports News.

"I want the players to take an opportunity to understand a bit more about the history and the culture of Argentina as a rugby nation.

"It is important we are good ambassadors for the country, there is no doubt about it. I talked to the players about that this afternoon."

England face a South American Consur XV in Montevideo in their tour opener on Sunday.
