Stuart Lancaster has insisted that captain Chris Robshaw has the full backing of the England players despite their recent results.

A 14-20 loss to Australia last week was followed by a single-point defeat to South Africa on Saturday, during which Robshaw made the controversial decision to kick at goal with England needing a try to overturn a four-point deficit.

"International sport is tough and it puts pressure on you as a leader. The most important thing is we backed the captain and the players are 100% behind him," Lancaster told BBC Sport.

"Games are never won on one decision. There were lots of little decisions that put us in that position and meant we were chasing the game.But it was a much improved performance from us against a pretty good side.

"We're all in it together and that's the fundamental of teams."

Robshaw has been capped eight times at international level since debuting in 2009.
