We take at five players who flopped during the second round of the 2022 Autumn Nations Series, including two disappointing England stars.
#1. Jonny May (England)
Telegraph 6/10: “Yellow carded for killing the ball scrambling back to stop Riley. Little threat in attack and looked rusty.”
The I 6/10: “Flew up and down the field in true Jonny May fashion. His kick chase was fast as per and helped force a knock on and pressure Japan catchers. His cover tackle on Dylan Riley, whilst impressive, resulted in a yellow card, however. But whether it’s rust or age, he’s starting to slow down it seems.”
Jonny May facts:
- May married his long-term partner and personal trainer Sophie in 2017
- He was childhood friends with pop star Ed Sheeran
- May has played for three clubs in his professional career: Moseley, Gloucester and Leicester Tigers
- He’s second on England’s all-time top try-scorers list behind Rory Underwood (49)
