Lancaster: Named interim England coach

Lancaster will step up from his current dual-role of England Saxons coach and the RFU's head of player development to take charge until a permanent replacement for Martin Johnson is appointed.

Rowntree is the only member of England's senior World Cup management team to be retained while Farrell, the former dual-international, has been seconded from Aviva Premiership champions Saracens.
