The Wasps flanker was one of the few England players, along with Nick Easter and Danny Care, to enhance his reputation in Saturday's 42-6 defeat against South Africa at Twickenham.

"I'm not a big fan of making excuses, I hate doing it, but I think we do have something special here," said Haskell. "We have a lot of talented players. Have this conversation in a year's time and if we lose like this again, then you have a valid point."

Haskell believes Johnson should stick to the same game plan against New Zealand, who overcame Wales 29-9 at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday evening.

"I'm looking forward to playing against New Zealand (on Saturday) and slowly building," he added.

"People are going to try to pick holes but we are a collective here. We are building to something. We are going to go away and work. You have got to take your knocks.

"But we have got to have confidence in what we are trying to achieve and faith in the game plan that the coaches have put together and move forward."
