Report: Jack Nowell to replace Jonny May for England against Ireland

Jonny May will be dropped for England's crucial Six Nations game against Ireland, according to reports.

The winger has been criticised for his performance against Italy on Saturday, and head coach Stuart Lancaster admits that England need to take their chances, after May squandered a golden opportunity to score a try.

The Mirror says that Exeter Chiefs winger Jack Nowell will replace May, after he scored a try in their victory over Newcastle Falcons last weekend.

Nowell hasn't played for England since last year's Six Nations championship.
