England strike gold but Johnson demands more

IF ever Martin Johnson was going to dash down the touchline, punching the air in celebration like Jose Mourinho it was at Twickenham on Saturday.

England had completed their first home victory over a Tri Nations superpower in four years with the best performance of Johnson’s regime as team manager.

Chris Ashton crowned a 35-18 triumph over Australia with a length-of-the-field wonder try which sent a clear message to the rest of the world that English rugby is on the move.
