England coach Stuart Lancaster insists he has no qualms about handing Freddie Burns his first cap against New Zealand on Saturday.
England have suffered back-to-back defeats against Australia and South Africa, but Lancaster insists his squad aren't daunted by facing an All Blacks side that are unbeaten in 20 games. "We're ready for it," he stated. "The frustration that we lost last week; we felt we put in a performance that deserved a win. We didn't get and we'll try to use that frustration in a positive way. "Nothing comes bigger than playing the All Blacks at Twickenham. We desperately want to give the fans something to cheer about. "You look at the experience of the All Blacks side and the quality of their players, but we're on a journey ourselves. "We'll undoubtedly learn from this experience, but it's all about winning on Saturday and that's what we're driving towards."
