CHISELDON'S Jonny May has been dropped from the 26-man England squad and can return to the Gloucester line-up when they travel to the Ricoh Arena to play Wasps on Sunday.

May scored a sensational solo try against New Zealand in November, but his displays in the last two Six Nations internationals against Wales and Italy have come in for criticism from coach Stuart Lancaster. May has been replaced in the side by Exeter wing Jack Nowell.

May's Gloucester team-mate Billy Twelvetrees has kept his spot on the replacements bench for the game against Ireland in Dublin on Sunday.
