MARTIN JOHNSON watched England salvage their Six Nations campaign with a thumping 34-10 victory over France and then warned Scotland: "There is more to come."
England went into yesterday's game under pressure after successive away defeats to Wales and Ireland but answered their critics in emphatic style with five tries.
England roared into a 29-0 half-time lead 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.
Johnson said: "We produced our best performance of the championship, the first half particularly. We executed our chances very well.
I still think there's more to come.
"There are still areas we need to improve on. Next weekend we have to reproduce this form."
Wales, meanwhile, need to record their biggest victory over Ireland for 26 years at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday.
A blundering Italian job has left a huge dent in Welsh hopes of landing their second successive title. A minimum 13-point winning margin is not something Wales have achieved at Grand Slam-chasing Ireland's expense since 1983.
Wales boss Warren Gatland is due to name his team tomorrow and several changes can be expected, especially in the forwards. But whatever he decides, any repeat of Wales' Stadio Flaminio struggle can surely only result in one outcome – an Ireland win.
"It was an accumulation of things," said Wales wing Mark Jones, whose two most notable contributions during the 20-15 success came in defence.
"We didn't get the flow to our game we would have liked.
"We fielded their kicks well, but maybe there were some wrong options off that."
