Chris Robshaw is ready to begin a "new chapter" in an England career that has been scarred by frustration.
Robshaw was the automatic pick as captain throughout Stuart Lancaster's regime but was relieved of the post after Dylan Hartley was chosen by new head coach Eddie Jones to lead the team during the Six Nations campaign.
He remains a part of Jones' plans, however, after the Australian challenged him to emerge from the next two months as Europe's most accomplished blindside flanker.
Despite the criticism Robshaw has faced, his appetite for international rugby is undiminished.
"It's a new chapter. Hopefully I'll have the opportunity to go out there and right some wrongs," said Robshaw, who was heavily criticised following England's failure to get out of the group stage of at the World Cup.
"Hopefully I can perform and repay that trust in me that Eddie has shown so far. It was difficult coming back from the World Cup but I need to go out there and hopefully achieve again.
"We all have setbacks in sport and in life and a lot of people in our game have gone on after them to be extremely successful.
"You go through tough times every now and again - it is about how you respond. It is about the character of the individual. I think you see what you are about.
"I fully understand the reasons for the captaincy change and respect Eddie for his choice and will support Dylan as well as possible.
"For me now it is about being part of the team, doing my bit for the team whatever that may be and supporting Dylan.
"It is interesting to look back over the past four years. I'm extremely proud that I've had the opportunity to captain England.
"Of course it didn't always go our way and there were a couple of mistakes along the way.
"I'm not proud of how the World Cup turned out but I'm extremely proud to have captained this country."
Meanwhile, Kieran Brookes has joined up with the England squad at Pennyhill Park to replace Henry Thomas as preparations continue for the game against Scotland on Saturday.
Brookes returned to the Northampton starting team in their 24-11 defeat to Wasps on Friday night and will look to add to his 15-cap tally.
