Johnson has named an unchanged team for the 126th instalment of international rugby's oldest rivalry after watching England roar back into form with an emphatic 34-10 victory over France. Scotland have not beaten England at Twickenham in 26 years and they arrive this weekend with coach Frank Hadden under increasing pressure.

"I have no sympathy for them at the moment. We have to look after ourselves," said Johnson, who never lost to Scotland in 10 years as an England player.

"They will come down here desperate to win. They will regard themselves as underdogs and have that chip on their shoulder. It will make them difficult to beat.

"They haven't won at Twickenham for a while. It will be a big thing for them if they win.

"Our motivation as a team has got to be to improve our performance from last week. You never say 'same again'. You want to get better. There is a big improvement to come out of us."

Johnson warned England to guard against complacency after such an emphatic victory over France last weekend.

"Everyone is talking like we are strong favourites but Scotland have been hard to beat. Look how Ireland celebrated when they took the lead last weekend," said Johnson.

"It is our job to make sure we go out with the same attitude and desire as last week (when England raced into a 34-0 lead inside 42 minutes) and not to expect things to happen.

"If we can get three wins in the tournament after two losses in the middle which was a pretty hard period for us then it will be a huge win."
