England winger Jonny May says the opening-day Six Nations loss to Scotland was a wake-up call for the team.

The home loss followed a successful but underwhelming Autumn Nations Cup, where poor aspects of England’s play were “swept under the rug.”

May says England needed to change things and produced a much-improved performance in the win over France.

May says the loss reminded them to take a good look at themselves and that change has to happen.

May says the victory over France was especially satisfying given the pressure England were under – both internally and externally – to get a result.
