Six Nations 2018: The real reason why Scotland beat England REVEALED by Martin Johnson
ENGLAND legend Martin Johnson has torn into Eddie Jones’ side after their Six Nations defeat to Scotland at Murrayfield.
Scotland run out 25-13 winners after three tries in a blistering first half saw them lead 22-6 at the break.
Johnson claimed England were complacent and questioned whether they were in the right frame of mind for the game.
He admitted they improved in the second half but the damage was already done before half time.
“Eddie said something last year, and he talked about complacency, and he said it's never far away,” Johnson told the BBC.
When you get beaten like that you usually sit down afterwards and if you're honest with yourself you say 'were we in the right frame of mind?'
“I think when you get beaten like that you usually sit down afterwards and if you're honest with yourself you say 'were we in the right frame of mind for that game'.
“You can talk about it and be told endlessly what you're going to come up with but unless you get yourself in the right frame of mind as a player and as a team, that can happen to anybody.
“For the first half they weren't at the races.
“In the second half they were a lot, lot better but the cat is out the bag, the crowd are going crazy and everything seems to be going against you.

“They lost their composure a little bit and Scotland played like Supermen when they scented victory.
“We said right at the start if you give them that they will play a lot lot better.
“They did everything you don't want a team to do when you're away from home.”
