LONDON - Jonny May will line up on the wing for England against Italy on Saturday hoping to add to his tally of four tries in the first three games of the Six Nations but hoping the match pans out better than the last one both for the team and for him.
May eventually got back to his feet but, after a couple of groggy minutes, the medics intervened and he was taken off to undergo a Head Injury Assessment , which he failed, automatically ending his participation. The HIA works by testing all the players pre-season to establish a baseline score on a series of cognitive and memory tasks, which is then measured against their performance in the immediate aftermath of a head injury.
Adding insult to injury was the fact that it was a collision with team mate Manu Tuilagi that left him on the turf. “Manu got me and there’s only one winner when you collide with Manu,” May said. Always one of the fastest players in the game, he has worked hard in the last two years to focus that speed in the right direction and has cut out much of the lateral running that marked his early international appearances.
