David Denton insists Scotland will look to bounce back from their Wooden Spoon shame by winning this year 's World Cup . The Dark Blues had a nightmare RBS 6 Nations as they lost all five games , suffering their third whitewash in 11 years . But Edinburgh number eight Denton believes the Scots can brush off their embarrassment by lifting the Webb Ellis Cup at Twickenham on October 31 . David Denton believes Scotland can bounce back from a nightmare Six Nations by winning the World Cup . Scotland have been drawn in Pool B alongside South Africa , Samoa , Japan and the US . They kick-off their World Cup bid on September 23 against the Japanese in Gloucester . Asked if he still believed the side would look to challenge the best nations in the world for the trophy , he replied : 'Yes ' . Pushed further on that statement , he added : ' I understand it 's hard to see . Our first goal is to get out of the pool and then give ourselves every chance of winning the World Cup . 'We never change [ our views on what we can achieve ] . We are in this sport to win . There is no doubt about that . There is a process to getting there - we need to get out of our pool first . Scotland were thrashed 40-10 by Ireland on their own patch at Murrayfield on Saturday . 'We 're in a tough pool - it could have been worse . We have tough games particularly against South Africa and Samoa that we need to make sure we perform well in . 'It 's a pool I think we can do well in and then [ if ] we get a favourable quarter-final we move on from there . You just need to take it one game at time and that 's what we are going to do . ' Scotland ended their campaign with another hard-luck story as Ireland steamrollered their way to a thrilling title triumph with a 40-10 win . And Denton admits it was not the way he saw the championships going . Scotland lost all five of their Six Nations matches in 2015 to finish at the bottom of the table . 'Today was a disappointing end to a disappointing campaign , ' he said . 'We came in to this competition with a lot of ambition and the prospect of winning the trophy . We came in thinking we were a good enough team to do that . 'But a few of the results did n't go our way and today we were n't good enough . 'There are a lot of things we can improve on and we will do . 'Was it realistic to think we can win the title ? One hundred per cent . There was no ambiguity about . ( Coach ) Vern ( Cotter ) said it at the start and we all believed it . 'We went into the France game thinking if we win in Paris things could start turning our way . '
