CHRIS ASHTON provided a ready-made moment for those TV gaffes programmes when he butchered a clearance behind his goal-line to allow Jonathan Joseph an easy score. At least he could laugh about it as his Toulon side beat Bath 24-20. Ashton tweeted a picture of himself and the England centre in a bar (right). ‘He owes me a beer!’ he wrote in French.
