Five big names to miss out on England’s provisional 55-man Rugby World Cup squad

#2. Jonny May

After a difficult summer with the England team, May has had a poor season in the Premiership, only managing to score four tries in 20 appearances across all competitions.

Despite being a crucial member of Eddie Jones’ England squad and the second-highest try scorer for his country, with only Rory Underwood ahead of him, May’s international career appears to be in jeopardy with the emergence of new talent like Henry Arundell, Tommy Freeman, Cadan Murley, Ollie Hassell-Collins, and Adam Radwan.

At 33 years old, it seems like May’s time at the international level may be coming to an end.
