FORMER Ridgeway School pupil Jonny May has been included in England's starting XV for Friday's Six Nations opener against Wales in Cardiff.
Gloucester wing May is poised to win his 12th cap at the Millennium Stadium, the new centre pairing of Bath's Jonathan Joseph and Northampton's Luther Burrell the only adjustments to the backline that faced down Australia in November with Bath's George Ford and Leicester's Ben Youngs continuing at half-back.
England have named Danny Cipriani and Nick Easter on the bench. Cipriani provides fly-half cover for George Ford while Easter, more traditionally a number eight, has been asked to deputise for the second row.
Dan Cole returns at tighthead prop having recovered from a foot problem in his first Test appearance for almost a year.
