London – Will Joseph said he was “speechless” after marking his first test start with a record-equaling five tries as England hammered Japan 78-15 in the Nations Championship at Twickenham on Saturday.
The recalled Gloucester winger, winning just his second cap, seized his opportunity to stake a claim for a place in England coach Steve Borthwick’s squad for next year’s Rugby World Cup in Australia.
Joseph, the younger brother of former Red Rose international Jonathan Joseph, struck as early as the opening minute.
