A relieved Greig Laidlaw has demanded improvements from Scotland despite seeing them come from behind to see off France in the Six Nations.
It took a faultless display of kicking from the recalled Laidlaw to get Scotland's campaign back on track with a 32-26 win over Les Bleus in Edinburgh following another slow start.
Scotland went into the game on the back of a humiliating defeat in Cardiff last week, and it looked as though they might be in for another tough afternoon after going 10-0 behind in the opening minutes before the halfback led the fightback with 22 points from the boot along with tries from Huw Jones and Sean Maitland.
France faded badly in the second period after flying out of the blocks with a brace from winger Teddy Thomas, and Laidlaw admitted the hosts need to improve against tournament favourites England in two weeks time if they are to pick anything up from the game.
"We can beat anyone but I think we will have to play better than we did today to beat England," the former skipper said. "England are a good team and have showed what a great defence they have.

"We might need to look at kicking options and play smartly when that game rolls around but for the minute, we will analyse ourselves in depth and come back better in a couple of weeks."
"It's going to have to go up a notch to beat England.
"England are playing really well again at the minute. Clearly they're on a big run so it'll be a tough game, but is it a game if we turn up and play the right rugby we're going to be in? I believe so."
