Stuart Lancaster believes Tom Wood will do a "fantastic" job captaining England during their summer tour of Uraguay and Argentina.
Lancaster added: "Once they were reassured about that and once they reassured that if the Lions came and ask for them they'd be considered, they accepted my decision. "It gives me the opportunity to look at other players in their position also, so it increases competition. "The next big goal for England players - and it's a pretty big goal - is to try to win a World Cup in our own back yard. If anyone is struggling for motivation for that, they've got a problem."
