Goode played five times for Natal Sharks in Super 14 this year

Worcester Warriors fly-half Andy Goode says he knows he will have to earn his place in the Warriors first team.

Goode, who has joined from Brive, told BBC Hereford & Worcester: "There are two other good fly-halves here in Willie Walker and Joey Carlisle.

"I will just get on and play as well as I can.

"I may have experience but I am taking nothing for granted. There are good young players here, like Carlisle, Johnny Arr and Chris Pennell."

He added: "Hopefully I can bring what I have learned through my career to the squad, and hopefully I can help develop some of the young payers here."
