England boss Stuart Lancaster has claimed that 'rugby is a simple game' after his side recorded an impressive victory over New Zealand at the weekend.

Lancaster, who has vowed to keep his team focused, has also praised his young squad after beating the world champions.

"Rugby's fairly simple. If you get a good culture, a good environment, good players, good coaches and if you work hard enough you'll get results," he told Sky Sports News.

"I believe in the players we've got. We have lads like Joe Launchbury and Jonathan Joseph and Owen Farrell and Freddie Burns who are 21, 22 and 23 years old. They should be playing for England for years and we should be sat here in 10 years' time and still have the same group of lads with 800 caps in our starting XV.

"And we've got good players to come back into the equation for the Six Nations, like Dylan Hartley, Tom Croft and Ben Foden. The coaches are outstanding. The environment we've got is a strong one and it held together under pressure and we kept believing. To get that scalp is a fantastic scalp."

England will face Australia, Argentina and New Zealand in their Autumn Test matches next year.
