But Robinson insists he will remain in charge for England's remaining autumn internationals against South Africa, who visit Twickenham on Saturday and on Saturday week.

Asked on Radio Five Live's Sportsweek if he could confirm his intention to battle on, Robinson replied: "I am saying that".

Robinson is due to meet with his Rugby Football Union bosses tomorrow but he added: "That's to discuss and debrief the two games (England's defeats against New Zealand and Argentina) and that's only right.

"I am under no illusions about my position. I am England head coach and that stays the same.

"We are pretty down and disappointed but we have got to pick ourselves up.

"I think everyone needs to have a little bit of patience. It's a hard quality to have at the moment because people need results.

"But it's about getting a clear head because this is a good England team and it will come through.

"It's just about being able to show it consisently for 80 minutes and, at the moment, we are not able to do that.

"We now look at the next performance, that's all we can do, and we can turn ourselves round with two good performances against South Africa."

Robinson admitted that England's players had not done themselves justice against the Pumas who exploited a lack of confidence in their hosts to pull off a famous win which increased the pressure on the under-fire England coach.

"It's hugely disappointing. I think we've let the nation down. It was a great opportunity to get a win under our belt.

"We played in patches, and individually there were some plus points, but overall we are very disappointed. We've got to look at ourselves, at our performances, and put our hands up.

"The passion is there, the attitude is there. It's just individual errors that are costing us."
