#4. Jonny May
onny well and truly announced himself on the international stage with an extraordinary maiden Test try against New Zealand in November 2014.
His long-range run in the opening minutes illustrated his pace, panache, shimmy, check and go. Injury prevented him from playing in the subsequent Six Nations and touring Australia in June 2016 But he returned after 13 months’ absence with a try against South Africa at Twickenham that November.
He crossed four times during the 2018 Six Nations, including twice in victory over Wales, and was selected by Eddie Jones for the summer tour to South Africa. Jonny was the standout performer against the Springboks in the three-Test series, finishing the top scorer with three tries, including the match-winning score in Cape Town.
That form continued as he was top try scorer in the 2019 Six Nations as he crossed six times, and on the way to the 2019 Rugby World Cup final he crossed twice against Australia in the quarter-final on his 50th cap.
