In the Six Nations, Bath centre Jonathan Joseph sent an emphatic message to his doubters on Sunday with a hat-trick of tries as England trampled Italy 40-9 in Rome.

Nevertheless, England struggled in the first-half and laboured to an 11-9 lead at the Stadio Olimpico before an onslaught in the second-half.
