Johnson: More to come from England

Martin Johnson watched England salvage their RBS 6 Nations campaign with a thumping 34-10 victory over France and then warned Scotland: "There is more to come."

England went into Sunday's game under pressure after successive away defeats to Wales and Ireland - but answered their critics in emphatic style with five tries.

And ahead of next Saturday's clash with the Scots, team manager Johnson said: "I still think there's more to come - there are still areas of our game we need to improve on."

England roared into a 29-0 half-time lead over the French with tries from Mark Cueto, Riki Flutey, Delon Armitage and Joe Worsley. Flutey added a second shortly after the restart and although France managed two consolation tries through Dimitri Szarzewski and Julien Malzieu, their outside title hopes were over.

Instead of facing the ignominy of finishing in the bottom half of the Six Nations table, England now head into a Calcutta Cup showdown knowing victory could be enough to seal second place.

Johnson said: "We produced our best performance of the championship, the first half particularly. We executed our chances very well - all the work that Brian Smith has put in on our attacking game really paid off.

"To have the confidence to deliver out on the field against a world-class team is what it's all about. We have had some disappointing changing rooms recently and coming into a winning England changing room is what it is all about."

Johnson allowed England to enjoy the moment of victory but the squad will reconvene at their Pennyhill Park base on Monday to begin preparations to face Scotland.

"It will be a tough, tough Test. Scotland are very competitive and if they'd taken their chances against Wales it could have been very different," he said.
