Video: Tom Croft: 'We are under pressure'

England flanker Tom Croft has admitted that Stuart Lancaster's side are under pressure to perform at the Six Nations, which gets underway this weekend.

The 27-year-old, who earned a recall to the team despite missing eight months with a shoulder injury, could return for the latter stages of the competition.

"The win against New Zealand was massive for England as a whole in terms of restoring faith and giving the boys confidence. Going into the Six Nations there will be a lot of pressure on them," said Croft.

"After that win they will be expected to go well and in that first game against Scotland will expect a big show, with hopefully the right result going our way."
