England won the first Test 37-15 at Old Trafford on Saturday with two tries from Delon Armitage, a try on debut for Matt Banahan and 22 points from the boot of Andy Goode, but Johnson expects a backlash from Argentina and he demanded England summon every last ounce of aggression to kill off the wounded Pumas.

"We have to knuckle down mentally and physically and get ready to play. We have to want to go out there and fight again and battle again," said Johnson. "We can't say 'that was enough last week, let's go out and see what happens' - we have to be even more disciplined and more resilient and more accurate and more tenacious."

He added: "When we hit Argentinian turf we have got to improve. We can't forget the edge we had this week and Argentina will raise themselves.

"If they can win this game it will take some doing but it is one we are capable of. There are not many English players who have won in Argentina so it will be a real achievement to do it.

"Let's have one big last effort on the pitch and finish the season on a high."

England have now won three consecutive Tests for the first time under Johnson and Saturday's victory lifted them above Argentina to fifth in the world rankings.
