England coach Stuart Lancaster insists he does not know if his job is secure, but says he has "unfinished business" at the helm.

The hosts concluded a disappointing Rugby World Cup campaign with a 60-3 triumph over Uruguay at the Etihad Stadium, with their Pool A fate already sealed by back-to-back losses against Wales and Australia.

Lancaster, who turned 49 on Friday, said only time will tell what fate awaits him, but hinted that he would be keen to continue.

"I haven't had the opportunity to sit back and chat to anyone yet, there's a bit more space in the diary now," he said when asked about his future.

"Yes [there is unfinished business]. Anyone who has been in my position, working from December 2011 to this point, it'd be hard to walk away from.

"But equally I understand it's a results business. It's a difficult one to answer at the moment, there's been a lot going on this week.

"What I've tried to do is make sure the character of the team has stayed strong through the week and I think we showed that."

England's youthful line-up, showing eight changes from the loss to the Wallabies, may have offered a glimpse of the future, but it was veteran Nick Easter who stole the spotlight with a hat-trick.

Jack Nowell also scored three tries and Anthony Watson got two, while promising young centre Henry Slade crossed to mark his maiden World Cup appearance.

There were over 50,000 people packed into the Etihad to see England wave farewell to the tournament and Chris Robshaw was delighted by the reception from the fans.

He said: "We were probably a little unsure about what to expect coming up here to a new stadium away from Twickenham, but the support has been phenomenal throughout the whole tournament.

"I've not experienced anything like it in any other country."
