Stuart Lancaster's England reign ended by Rugby World Cup failure

Stuart Lancaster carried the can for England's woeful World Cup campaign when he stepped down as head coach on Wednesday. Lancaster's departure, three-and-a-half years after his appointment, was "by mutual consent", according to a statement issued by England's governing Rugby Football Union. "I am obviously extremely saddened to finish the way we did in this World Cup and to step down from the role," Lancaster said in the RFU statement.
