CHISELDON'S Jonny May has been confirmed on the wing for England's autumn opener against South Africa at Twickenham on Saturday.

May was widely tipped to start against the Springboks after being retained in Eddie Jones' 25-man party for the weekend game

Gloucester wing May makes his first appearance since the World Cup following a year-long battle with a variety of injuries, lining up on the left with Marland Yarde patrolling the opposite flank.

"I'm also pleased to see a number of returning players get their chance on Saturday, most notably Jonny May after his long injury rehabilitation,'' said Jones.
