May's days as a flanker are definitely numbered jokes Youngs, Brown

England wing Jonny May has attracted all the spotlight after his performance at scrum during last weekend's clash against Argentina at Twickenham.

May, 26, was packed into the scrum at openisde flanker after prop Dan Cole was sin-binned at the stroke of half-time and he looked in awkward position after putting his head between the legs of loosehead prop Mako Vunipola.

England halfback Ben Youngs laughed at the incident and is confident that scrum is not May's best position to be in.

"Unbelievable isn't it, what's he doing? It's madness," Youngs said.

"He needs to get on the scrum machine. Poor old Mako.

"It's amazing that he's played rugby all his life but he doesn't know where his head's supposed to go when he plays seven.

"That's Jonny for you. Scrummaging's not his forte but give him the ball on the edge of the pitch and he'll finish for you.

"Mako was a little bit confused when he saw Jonny's head pop between his legs. God knows. Luckily we got the ball in and out."

England full-back Mike Brown too joined Youngs and concluded that May will be "the last person he will use on a scrum".

"He couldn't have watched much rugby or scrums in a rugby game to bind the way he was binding," Brown said.

"That's just Jonny. Interesting technique, I don't think it'll be one that they'll be using going forward, but it made us laugh.

"I want to know who put him on the scrum. That's a good question, who actually put him on in the scrum in the first place? Because he'd be the last person I'd [use]. That's who needs to answer some questions."

Brown also had high praises for May and labelled him as one of the best finisher of try. Describing his experience with May in training, Brown said he will excused for more "toilet breaks" if he continues scoring.

"Jonny seems to disappear from training every now and then to go to the toilet," Brown said.

"Eddie turns around and goes 'where the effing hell has Jonny gone?' And Jonny just trots back in like nothing's going on. So Eddie's like 'what the hell are you doing?'.

"He's like...what's the best way to describe it...he's like a puppy! He's really enthusiastic, bounding around desperate to show his energy and go to the toilet!

"He has so much energy and enthusiasm, so we have to keep him on a tight leash sometimes. And give him direction - well that's what I end up doing anyway.

"But he's a brilliant player. With ball in hand he can finish tries that others can't. He's electric running-wise. He also listens, which is a good thing!

"I don't think he knows what's going on half the time, so who knows what's going on in his head? He's an interesting character, one that I'll probably never experience again.

"It's great that you play in a sport with so many different characters, like Jonny. He can be frustrating at times, but he's a good bloke to have around."
