England have come under fire after winning just two of their Six Nations matches and slipping from second to third place in 2010 which has led questions being asked about Johnson and his coaching staff’s credentials.
However the former England winger Underwood told BBC Sport: “I would stick with him until the World Cup.
“Hopefully we’ll get things sorted out over the next 18 months and move in the right direction.”
Johnson was criticised for a lack of flair in attack during the Six Nations and they went from being the top try scoring team in 2009 to scoring just six tries in five matches in the 2010 tournament.
However even though England lost they did show lots of attacking flair in their 12-10 defeat by Grand Slam champions France in Paris.
Ironically England looked convincing in the early stages and scored a try that would not have looked out of place in tournaments such as the Super14 but when the rain came down England started to struggle.
