England wing Jonny May said he had been running on instinct after scoring a stunning solo try in an 18-7 Autumn Nations Cup rugby win over Ireland. "Off the back of good work defensively it creates the turnover and gives us the ball in space, so credit to the pack." Asked if the sensational score was purely a matter of instinct, May replied: "A hundred percent. I don't have enough time to think about it when it's like that off a quick turnover ball." Such was England's defensive effort that Ireland did not score until replacement Jacob Stockdale's try seven minutes from time.
