Mike Brown: England "in great shape for World Cup"

By , Reporter
England full-back Mike Brown says that the team are "in great shape" for the Rugby World Cup despite missing out on the Six Nations title on Saturday.

Full-back Mike Brown has said that England are in "great shape" for the World Cup despite missing out on the Six Nations title on Saturday.

England needed to beat France by 26 points to secure the Six Nations trophy but could only manage a 55-35 win.

"I'm gutted. It's tough to take at the moment obviously, but we have massive belief in the squad," Brown told Sky Sports News.

"We're in great shape for the World Cup. Not many teams put that amount of points on a French side that hasn't conceded more than two tries previously in the tournament.

"Our attacking game has been brilliant all Championship and has come on leaps and bounds. We showed how dangerous we can be and hopefully we can take that into future games."

England host the Rugby World Cup in September and October and will face Australia, Wales, Fiji and Uruguay in Pool A.
