Wales winger George North believes that England are capable of overcoming their painful Six Nations defeat.

The Red Rose were subject to a 30-3 onslaught by Wales at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday, ending hopes of a Grand Slam victory.

"It's a tough few months when you go from being in with the chance of a Grand Slam to losing it and losing quite convincingly," the London Evening Standard quotes North as saying.

"It's a hard place. I spoke to some of their boys after and it was gutting for them because they were going for everything and then lost everything. England will have to stick together, work together as a unit and push on to the next game."

Wales clinched a Grand Slam in the competition last year.
