The Sweet Chariot thunders on. England recovered from a false start at Twickenham and the early loss of full-back Mike Brown to maintain their RBS Six Nations title quest with a resounding win. Stuart Lancaster’s national team were behind for the first quarter of this match, as they struggled to generate the level of intensity shown during their seismic triumph in Cardiff eight days earlier. But when they needed inspiration, it was delivered in stunning fashion by Jonathan Joseph. Following his try-scoring heroics at the Millennium Stadium, the on-song Bath centre illuminated proceedings on his first start in a home Test. The 23-year-old scored twice – either side of half-time – as England made light of their initial problems to cut loose. Both his tries were acts of attacking genius, showcasing the pace and footwork which have drawn increasing comparisons with Jeremy Guscott, who was watching on from a TV studio.
