Moody: 'Lancaster under pressure'

Lewis Moody has said that Stuart Lancaster is under pressure to deliver a win against New Zealand.

England have lost their last two games, against South Africa and Australia.

The former England captain told Sky Sports News: "I don't think he's vulnerable at the minute, you don't appoint someone for a long process and then immediately take them out when thing start going wrong.

"The pressure is now certainly on him, the honeymoon period is over.

"England have been within a score of winning the last two games so it's not all as doom and gloom as everyone is saying. I think we all want to see a slight change, though."

Lancaster was brought in as England coach on an interim basis last year, but was awarded the job permanently following a strong Six Nations campaign.
