'Samoa could have beaten us' - Johnson

England captain Martin Johnson admits his team must improve dramatically from today’s scrambled victory over Samoa if they are to have any chance of winning the World Cup.

Johnson’s team trailed until approaching the final quarter of the match – and it was not until a moment of ingenuity from Jonny Wilkinson set up a second-half try for Iain Balshaw that England began to look comfortable on their way to a 35-22 success in Melbourne.
