JONNY May has been recalled on the wing for England’s RBS Six Nations Championships clash with Italy at Twickenham on Sunday.

The Gloucester wing had been dropped from England’s starting line up for the clash in Cardiff against Wales a fortnight ago in favour of Exeter’s Jack Nowell.

But now national coach Eddie Jones has recalled the Cherry and Whites flyer.

And there is a first involvement of the Six Nations for former Thornbury prop Mako Vunipola who returned to the national squad this week from injury, having been at his old club with brother Billy last Saturday.

England are expected to run up a cricket score against Italy, but Jones said: “"It is an important Test match for us and our only consideration is to play well," Jones said.

"Italy have a proud record in Test rugby, they beat South Africa in November, and we will not underestimate them.

"I know the Twickenham crowd will give Owen Farrell a big cheer. To reach 50 caps at such a young age is a fine achievement.

"The one thing I know about Owen is that his next 50 are going to be more impressive than his first."
