Gloucester's Jonny May
GLOUCESTER’S Jonny May will find out today if he will usurp Exeter’s Jack Nowell and be included in England’s RBS Six Nations starting line-up for the visit of Italy to Twickenham on Sunday.
May was left out of the match against Wales in Cardiff a fortnight ago in favour of Nowell.
And England are to have a new-look centre partnership after ever-present Jonathan Joseph was dropped this week for the game..
Joseph is omitted from the 24-man squad retained to continue preparations for the next phase of the Grand Slam defence, denying him even a bench role against Conor O'Shea's Azzurri.
