Jamie George has urged patience with England's development as they aim to build towards winning the 2027 Rugby World Cup.

England beat Fiji 38-18 on Saturday, with George one of five try-scorers at Twickenham.

Steve Borthwick's team have now won their last nine games.

George set out that England's goal is to win the next World Cup, though he stressed the team are a work in progress.

"This team has come under a bit of criticism in tight games, certainly under my reign as captain," George told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"We had composure and clarity in the huddle, where I thought Fin Smith led really well.

"When you're bringing on the likes of Tom Curry and Maro, that sort of experience in the huddle is invaluable.

"It's all been part of the process. We're still at the early part of the curve of becoming the team we want to be.

"We do have an end goal of winning the World Cup but at the same time, we are aware we need to be a significantly better team in order to do that."

Borthwick, meanwhile, was delighted with the impact of his bench players.

"We've seen in Test matches that the margins are so small," Borthwick added.

"It is about understanding the fitness of the players for going 80 minutes and the impact of the bench.

"That, alongside composure and resilience, are important components."

The last time England went on a longer winning streak than their current nine-match run was an 18-game effort between 2015 and 2017.

England face their biggest test of the Autumn Internationals yet when they take on New Zealand next week.
