George Ford and Jonathan Joseph play their part in England win

England just about managed to win their opening Six Nations match, a 19-16 victory over France, and two Bath players were useful at Twickenham.

Both Ford and Joseph were given 69 of the 80 minutes, replaced by Ben Te'o and Jack Nowell respectively.

Ford had the better game of the two. After a slow start, Ford grew into the match and looked to have got an assist at one stage when Elliot Daly went over in the corner but the TMO rightly ruled out the try as Daly was out of touch.

Joseph impressed too but was unable to get on the scoresheet, as was Ford who is not England's regular kicker, which meant Owen Farrell was the man trusted with taking the three penalties that ended in points, as well as the one England conversion of the match.
