Stuart Lancaster impressed by George Ford debut

England coach Stuart Lancaster says that fly-half George Ford "played well" on his first start for the national side as he helped them to a 28-9 win over Samoa.

Stuart Lancaster has said that he was impressed by George Ford's debut during England's win over Samoa in the Autumn Internationals yesterday.

The Bath fly-half kicked 13 points on his first start for his country during the 28-9 win at Twickenham.

Lancaster told BBC Sport: "I thought he played well. He's so young as a player in international terms, but he's someone who's going to be around a long time for England.

"I though it was a great first start for him. He looked calm, he looked composed and he controlled the game well. He was incisive at line breaks."

England play Australia in their final match of 2014 next weekend.
