He withdrew from the subsequent summer tour of Australia and took a break from the game before leading out England for his 50th cap in their stunning victory over Scotland in March 2017. Three months later, Joe was part of the British & Irish Lions squad for their tour of New Zealand and was a regular for the Lions in their midweek games. He featured in Steve Borthwick’s squad for the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France and Guinness Men’s Six Nations 2024.
