The world champions picked up their first win of the 2005 RBS 6 Nations campaign against Italy last weekend and Corry wants the improvement to keep on coming.

Despite the victory over the Azzurri, England readily acknowledge the performance was short of what the coaches and players demand.

Corry said: ''We are a team which is looking to improve game-by-game. We made the step up against Italy by winning the game

''Now it is very important we step up again otherwise the three losses we have incurred in this championship count for absolutely nothing. It will all have been a complete waste of time if we let our performances drop against Scotland.

''It's vital we improve from Italy in key areas. In certain periods our execution let us down and it was disappointing but it is something to work on.

''I think we need to improve on everything. Where we want to be is the best side in the world. We are miles from there at the minute but that is what we are aiming for. It is perhaps going to be a slower process than first thought but we will get there.''

Scotland arrive at Twickenham after suffering a record defeat to Wales at the weekend, conceding six tries and trailing 43-3 before finally getting a foothold in the game, when they worked three second-half tries.

Corry insisted his side will not get carried away by the ease with which Wales carved through the Scottish defence.

''We look for the dangers in the Scotland side and there are dangers there. They are very much rebuilding at the moment. They have a couple of guys coming back from injury.

''And historically, there is a great rivalry and a great history in England-Scotland games.
The form book goes out the window and what has happened already in the championship goes out of the window.

''It's up to us to impose ourselves early on the Scots and not let them get into any kind of rhythm.''
