LONDON - Jet-heeled winger Jonny May moved joint second on the all-time England tryscorers' list on Saturday , bagging two, including one sensational 90-metre effort, as England beat Ireland 18-7 in the Nations Cup at Twickenham.

Ireland overthrew a lineout inside the England 22 and the backs moved the ball across to May 10 metres in front of the home tryline. "He's such a dedicated trainer and is obsessed about getting better. He's a great role model for all the players in all teams."He went seven games before bagging his first try against New Zealand in 2014 and was more noted for his sideways movement than the incisive lines he now finds.

"I remember watching him in the 2015 World Cup and at one stage he was going to end up in Row K. Now he's a serious finisher," Jones said. "The first one was with a penalty advantage and you have a shot to nothing. I had exactly the same against Georgia and I didn't get it and was annoyed with myself. I practised this week and ended up getting it this time.
