England head coach Stuart Lancaster takes the positives from Saturday's 15-16 defeat to South Africa at Twickenham.

England head coach Stuart Lancaster has insisted that there are positives to be taken from Saturday's 15-16 defeat to South Africa at Twickenham.

The narrow loss was England's second in seven days after they went down 14-20 to Australia last weekend.

"It was difficult conditions but our accuracy at the breakdown, intent to play and set piece were all up a step from last week," Lancaster told Sky Sports News.

England take on world champions New Zealand at Twickenham next Saturday.
