England Rout Japan 78-15: Will Joseph's Five Tries Equal the Team Record in a 13-Try Record Win Over Japan
England beat Eddie Jones's Japan 78-15 at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, London, on November 14, as wing Will Joseph scored five tries to equal England's single-match try record.
It was Joseph's first England appearance since 2022 and only his second cap. He scored with his first touch after 65 seconds, crossed four times inside the first 25 minutes and added a fifth after half-time, equalling the England record held by Rory Underwood (1989), Josh Lewsey (2003) and Henry Arundell, and was named player of the match.
England ran in 13 tries in all, led 49-10 at half-time, and their 78 points and 63-point margin are both records against Japan. The match was part of the Nations Championship; England, who routed Australia a week earlier, had made 10 personnel changes.
England next host New Zealand at the same stadium next Saturday. With Immanuel Feyi-Waboso out for the rest of the tournament, Joseph's performance puts him in pole position to start on the right wing.
