Corry says the pain of Paris will never go away

France inflicted a 31-6 defeat on England on Sunday - their heaviest loss in the Six Nations for 20 years.

"Now we have the opportunity to get some credibility back," Corry told BBC Radio Five Live.

"We are going to be very passionate, direct and clinical. Negative thoughts can't enter our heads."

Corry looked shell-shocked when he gave a post-match interview to BBC Television following the defeat in Paris, and he admitted the pain had not gone away.

"It's still there, I don't think that will ever leave," he said.

We know playing for England and pulling on a white shirt is an unbelievable honour Martin Corry England captain

"Fair play to the players, we've stood up and said that was no way good enough.

"We know we've let ourselves down and the only way we can rectify that is by performing very, very well.

"Every one of us, at some stage, made a basic mistake, which we wouldn't normally do in a game situation.

"We've got opportunities now to put that right in training and in the match on Saturday. We've got to go out and put in a great performance."

England coach Andy Robinson has wielded the axe following the humiliating defeat by France.

Josh Lewsey, Mike Tindall, Matt Dawson and Steve Thompson, who were pivotal players in the side that won the 2003 World Cup, have all been dropped.

The experienced Danny Grewcock and Julian White have also made way, while Charlie Hodgson is out with a hamstring injury.

Corry said: "Yes, we've made a few changes, but these are changes from within the squad.

"Everyone coming in is very comfortable within the squad and we've got to show a real spirit now.

"We've got to be at our clinical best. We've created a lot of chances but haven't been finishing them off and we've got to turn that around at the weekend.

"We know playing for England and pulling on a white shirt is an unbelievable honour. As players, we have to sort this out and up our game."
