Joseph scores five as England thrash Eddie Jones's Japan 78-15

Will Joseph scored five of England's 13 tries in a 78-15 Nations Championship win over Japan at Twickenham on Saturday 14 November.

It was a painful return for Japan head coach Eddie Jones, who spent seven years in charge of England and was back at the ground for the first time since. Japan were put on the back foot by an early red card, and Jones said he took full responsibility for the performance.

Jones turns his attention to the All Blacks

Jones called his old side 'very good' but warned that New Zealand would be 'violent' when they visit Twickenham next Saturday, Sky Sports reports.

The All Blacks lost 35-28 to Wales in Cardiff on the same day, their first defeat by the Welsh since 1953. A win would have given them World Rugby's No 1 ranking and control of the Nations Championship southern hemisphere table, according to Sky Sports.

'They'll be back to the old New Zealand. They'll be hard and tough, and physical around the breakdown.'

Jones said that is what he expects from them after the defeat.

Joseph's big day

Joseph, 24, won his only previous England cap under Jones in 2022, when he was a teenage apprentice taken to Australia and thrown into the second Test as a late replacement. BBC Sport reports that he later struggled for game time and fitness at Harlequins, and that an auto-immune condition cost him the hearing in his left ear.

This season he has been one of the exciting young English-qualified backs at Gloucester. England used him on the wing, with Immanuel Feyi-Waboso having limped out of their autumn campaign.

Former England wing Chris Ashton told BBC Radio 5 Live that Joseph is 'pretty similar to Immanuel Feyi-Waboso' in the way he plays.

Jones joked that it 'kills' him that Joseph, to whom he gave a first cap, scored five against him.

Selection questions for Borthwick

England head coach Steve Borthwick said he now has 'thinking' to do around selection, Sky Sports reports.

Jones had also told BBC Radio 5 Live this week that being told by the big screen when to make noise is 'a bit funny'. BBC Sport says the capacity crowd, which included junior ticket holders paying £15, enjoyed the day regardless.
