We can still win title insists Jonny

JONNY May insisted England are over their Scottish nightmare and are still eyeing another Six Nations title after putting six tries past Italy in yesterday’s 41-18 win at Twickenham.

The wing scored England’s third on the stroke of half-time, with a stunning finish, to move clear second in his country’s all-time try-scoring list – with 32 – and has only Rory Underwood ahead of him with 49.

England’s day was marred, however, by a cruel knee injury to flanker Jack Willis, who lasted only six minutes after coming off the bench.

The Wasps man scored a 60th minute try but was carted off after a tackle by Italian back rower Sebastian Negri and will be scanned tomorrow.

May confessed the week in camp since the shock 11-6 defeat to Scotland last Saturday had been a sobering one for Eddie Jones’ side.

But he is adamant the Six Nations reigning champions are still in with a shout of reclaiming the title after getting the Scotland defeat out of their system.

The 30-year-old said:

“We are still in it. As poor as we were last week, we only lost by five points against Scotland. That is positive, we were poor but we hung in there.

“We got a point last week, we got five this week and we are still in it. There is no reason we can’t go one week at a time and keep getting better and come good at the end.
