5 players Steve Borthwick should call-up after Scotland loss

#5. Jonathan Joseph (Bath Rugby)

Joseph joined Bath Rugby in 2013 from London Irish and provided some outstanding moments in Blue, Black and White.

A natural leader and one of the best defensive outside centres in the game, he is not short of speed, agility and awareness – the latter shown on various occasions throughout his career, most recently in 2021/22 setting up two Max Ojomoh tries with a dink from the outside of his right boot.

His dedication to the Blue, Black and Whites has seen him make over 150 appearances for the club, marking the occasion with a special victory of Harlequins.

On the international stage, Joseph has represented England over 50 times and was member of the British & Irish Lions touring party as they drew the 2017 series with New Zealand.
