Robinson is expected to stamp his identity on England in the next year

Although Baron expects changes to the coaching team before England begin their title defence, he said Robinson is the man to lead the campaign.

Baron declared: "We are not a soccer club where a guy's job is on the line because a couple of results go wrong.

"Andy Robinson is contracted through to the next World Cup."

Robinson has been in the job for less than a year yet but over the next 12 months Baron expects the England set-up will start to take on a new shape.

"Over the next year you will see his coaching team evolve into the Andy Robinson team and the Andy Robinson way of doing things," added Baron.

"For England this is a very important season. Nobody in the RFU is happy with our current position, ranking number six in the word and none of us believe our performances and results last year are of a level England should attain and our supporters deserve.

"We are all very much focused now on delivering improved performances. We have two years until the World Cup. That improved performance comes from me down. We all have to accept our responsibility."

The RFU have published a new strategic plan, packed with goals and objectives for each part of the organisation.

Top of the list in the elite rugby section is retaining the World Cup in 2007 but it also demands four Six Nations triumphs and two Grand Slams between 2006 and 2013.
