England head coach Stuart Lancaster insists that his side are ready to channel their 'frustrations' into this weekend's final Autumn Test against New Zealand.

England head coach Stuart Lancaster has insisted that his team are ready to work hard for a result against New Zealand this weekend.

The national side head into their final Autumn International on the back of a single-point defeat to South Africa.

"We asked for a big response from the players after Australia and we got one last Saturday against South Africa, although ultimately we were denied," said Lancaster.

"That frustration has been channelled this week and the whole squad has reacted with a determination to get a victory against the top team in the world."

Lancaster has made just one change to the starting lineup for this weekend's match, with Owen Farrell replacing Toby Flood at fly-half.
