Alex Goode: 'We must learn lessons'

Alex Goode admits that England must recover quickly from their Six Nations disappointment.

Alex Goode has called on England to use their Six Nations disappointment to inspire them to success in the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

Wales claimed the Six Nations crown with a 30-3 victory over England on Saturday, who have previously lost five Grand Slam deciders.

"I don't want to talk about the 2003 team too much but they had a painful ride to get there and if we have to have a few painful moments to get to the final of 2015 then we will," Goode told Sky Sports News.

"You would rather win and leave here saying 'It is brilliant', but if we come back next year and we are a better side for it, coming into the last game for the Grand Slam, it will be a lesson learned.

"We spoke on the field about making sure we learn from this and become a better team from this experience. We have two years until the World Cup and we need to learn. There will be setbacks along the way. There were setbacks against South Africa in the summer and we got better.

"We have had this setback and we have to make sure we take a positive step and we go forward. We will use the motivation of this to help us go forward. We want to be back in these positions again so we can rewrite our wrongs."

Goode has nine international caps to his name.
