England head coach Eddie Jones has been backed by the Rugby Football Union despite finishing in fifth position in the Six Nations.
Three successive losses saw England slide down the table as Ireland ran away with the Championship, sealing the Grand Slam to boot.
That has led to criticism of the team and despite their recent run of poor results, RFU chief executive Steve Brown is standing by Jones.
"Eddie and his coaches have my confidence and the measure of how good they are and can be will be how they respond to these tough times," he said.
"The results in the Six Nations were not what we wanted, not what we expected and there is no attempt by us to dress this up.
"Everyone is deeply disappointed. We will learn from this and make sure it doesn't happen again."
He added: "No one is patting each other on the back – they're looking for solutions to put us back to where we were before.
"It's worth reflecting that Eddie has an 86 per cent win record with England. You don't become a bad coach or team overnight."
