Robinson insists England will do it their way as they rebuild following last season's disappointing RBS 6 Nations campaign.

The coach was speaking on Sunday for the first time since returning from New Zealand, where the British & Irish Lions were whitewashed by the All Blacks.

And he maintained there is no future in trying to play catch-up as he said: It's not about copying New Zealand.

As soon as you try to copy somebody the opposition moves forward to something else. It isn't about that.

It's about developing your own performance, said Robinson.

Robinson, part of Sir Clive Woodward's coaching team in New Zealand, praised the All Blacks for their performances but said their supremacy will not affect England's build-up to the November Tests at Twickenham against Australia, New Zealand and Samoa.

He said: Credit to New Zealand but we have to move England forward.

You are continually learning about players but you have to look at it in an England context.

This was just an eight-week compartment in my life away from coaching England.

This was about different coaches, a different management team and playing three Test matches back-to-back against New Zealand.

We don't play three matches back-to-back against the same opposition with England, added Robinson, who is taking positives from the disappointment of both the Lions tour and last season's RBS 6 Nations championship, where England could only finish fourth behind Wales, France and Ireland.

He explained: Apart from the Wales game England played well in all the games in parts - but we have to do that for 80 minutes.

New Zealand killed the Lions off in short spurts. They scored a lot of points in 20-minute bursts which killed the games.

They have the ability to do that and you have to keep your concentration.
