"I'd never won at Peterborough before as a player or coach, so I was pleased," said Johnson.
"They are a good side and I don't know how they are in the position they are.
"They're a big aggressive side and pushed us hard.
"We knew it would be a very different game from the home games against them and we were happy to come away with a bonus-point win.
"They were leading early on and it was pretty much to and fro throughout the match.
"We got our fourth try about 10 minutes into the second half, which took a bit of pressure off but Peterborough didn't give up and gave us a really good game."
