performance. But we were a tight team this week, we had some good conversations and we got back out there and got back on the horse.
“We played with some energy, chests out and heads held high.
“The try was a one-in-godknows-how-many scenario but you do need that one when you are just close to the line and you can use the flag.
“It just happened instinctively, it is just a little skill you need to have there and luckily I was able to execute it today.”
England captain Owen Farrell paid tribute to May after his 32nd try in 63
Tests for England.
“You never know what Jonny’s going to do,” said Farrell. “He’s an outstanding finisher. To be able to finish a try like he did in that corner was outstanding.”
“Its a step forward for us. I thought it was brilliant.”
WAYNE ROONEY proved he is learning fast as Derby’s fourth win in five games lifted them out of the bottom three.
“It’s a big win for us,” said the Derby boss.
A goal straight from the training ground provided liftoff. A corner was met by Lee Buchanan’s header which set up Lee Gregory to nod in.

Derby 2 Midd’brough 1 from Stoke City, then became provider for Colin Kazim-richards (left) as the Rams looked anything but a side dicing with relegation danger.
But the twogoal cushion only lasted five minutes as Neeskens Kebano pulled one back.
Boro boss Neil Warnock said: “Up front we were a damp squib.”
LEICESTER loanee Josh Knight boosted basement club Wycombe’s survival hopes with a goal that earned their first win at Huddersfield for 26 years.
The defender’s first league goal for a year secured a stunning comeback triumph as the Chairboys bravely fought back from 2-0 down.
Wycombe boss Gareth Ainsworth said: “The boys were superb. It’s been a really tough month but we have proved today that we can compete.”
A headed opener from Juninho Bacuna and Belgian forward Isaac Mbenza’s first goal for two months put the Terriers well on top.
But Anis Mehmeti pulled a goal back in the third minute of first-half injury time and skipper Joe Jacobson netted from the penalty spot after Jonathan Hogg bundled over Uche Ikpeazu.
And there was a real sting in the tail when Knight pounced to win it at the death with a clinical finish.
Huddersfield boss Carlos Corberan said: “It was an awful game – more than a disaster.”
