Joseph set for early return
The new England coach will be able to make his plans with Jonathan Joseph come the 6 Nations as the centre makes excellent progress to return from injury.
Joseph underwent surgery to repair a damaged pectoral muscle last month, but the Bath outside centre is now expected to return to action in December rather than January, ensuring he will be available for the Six Nations opener against Scotland on February 6.
"Jonathan is in front of schedule, which is fantastic for us. Everyone's different, but he's on course to probably be back in eight weeks rather than 12," Bath assistant coach Toby Booth said.
The odds have been slashed recently on Stormers' head coach Eddie Jones to take over after a serious of heavy bets this week.
