England Rugby Star Jonny May Retires from International Play

After a decade-long international rugby career and ranking as England's second-highest try scorer, May announces retirement post World Cup semi-final defeat.

Jonny May, 33, retires from international rugby following a 10-year career during which he ranked as England's second highest try-scorer with 36 out of 78 Tests.
He started five games in the 2023 World Cup in France and played his final game in the semi-final defeat against South Africa, but did not participate in the third-place victory over Argentina.
May mentioned the significant role of the fans in his journey, thanking them for the experiences at Twickenham and for making his career come to life.
He made his international debut in 2013 and represented England in the last three World Cups, including starting the final game in 2019 when they lost to South Africa.
May, who also plays club rugby for Gloucester, intends to remain connected to the England rugby team in spirit despite his retirement from physical play.
