sport news Ben Youngs backs Jonny May to continue deadly form for England ahead of Wales ...

Jonny May is viewed by England team-mate Ben Youngs as the deadliest wing in the world who shows flashes of Forrest Gump.

The Leicester duo are plotting the downfall of Wales in Saturday's seismic Guinness Six Nations title clash with May's speed and finishing instincts sure to be central in Eddie Jones' gameplan.

The 28-year-old has plundered 12 tries in as many Tests including a devastating hat-trick against France in round two to emerge as a superstar of the game.

'Jonny's been phenomenal the last 12 months, if not longer,' Youngs said of his Leicester colleague.

'He's certainly the in-form winger in the world and perhaps the best winger in the world at the moment.

'The threat Jonny poses is out-and-out pace and that's incredibly hard to deal with. You're not going to win a foot race against him.

'When someone is as quick as him you know that when the ball is put in behind you, he's going to be there.

'He suddenly appears, a bit like Forrest Gump on that kick return in the movie where he gets given the ball and he just goes!'

By his own admission, May is 'a bit different to most of the others' in a team now rated as favourites to relieve Ireland of their Six Nations crown.

England scrum-half Danny Care recently claimed that he 'used to think he was possessed by a chicken!'

Care added: 'He used to go around clucking and thought this chicken demon was inside him. I don't know whether it was an act or true - with Jonny you just never know!'

For all the entertainment provided by England's sharpest attacking weapon, May insists the blistering form that began during the 2018 summer tour to South Africa is the product of years of toil on the practise field.
