Bath centre Jonathan Joseph capped a remarkable double at the Rugby Players' Association Awards when he was crowned both Players' Player of the Year and England Player of the Year on Wednesday night.

Joseph, who scored four tries in the Six Nations, has enjoyed a brilliant season for both club and country and was rewarded for his impressive campaign at the traditional end-of-season dinner.

"I'm extremely honoured to win both of these prestigious awards, especially given the immense quality amongst the other nominees," Joseph said. "As always I would like to thank the people who've made this possible, my family and friends, team-mates, coaches and all the people who have pushed me to strive to achieve my absolute best.

"I'm enormously proud to have my name on two of the RPA's Awards, it's an absolute pleasure to have received this level of recognition from my peers."

While Joseph scooped the prestigious Players' Player of the Year gong, Exeter's Henry Slade picked up the LV= Young Player of the Year award. England legend Jonny Wilkinson was inducted into the RPA Hall of Fame while Sale's Mark Cueto picked up the Special Merit Award.

Matt Hampson was the recipient of the Blyth Spirit Award while Rochelle Clark was crowned England Women's Player of the Year and Bristol's Matthew Morgan collected the Championship Player of the Year award.
