Stuart Lancaster has described his England team as "outstanding" following their 30-9 win over Ireland at Twickenham.

England destroyed their opponent's scrum in style on their way to a fourth win in five under the 42-year-old's temporary stewardship.

"We were outstanding. I'm really really pleased with the performance," said interim coach Lancaster.

"At the outset there's a long-term plan, and that revolves around giving a load of young players some experience.

"I think a lot should be made of their self-belief, they believe in the team, they believe in the direction they're going, they believe in the coaches and it showed today."

Lancaster, who described the role as his dream job, now looks almost certain to become England coach on a permanent basis.
