Martin Johnson demands improvement despite win

England coach Martin Johnson has urged his players to improve their performance if they are to beat Ireland in Dublin on Saturday to seal a Six Nations Grand Slam.


England laboured to victory 22-16 against Scotland at Twickenham, and struggled to impose themselves on, what many perceived, weaker opponents.


A win against the Irish would guarantee a Grand Slam, which England have no achieved since John was captain in 2003.


Johnson said: "We've got lots to be better at. We know we can play a lot better than that.


"We'll be in a fight (against Ireland) and we've got to make sure we are a bit smarter the next time we play."


Ireland v England tickets are available now.
