World News – GB – May calls for a « show » time in Twickenham as England face Georgia in the Nations Cup

Eddie Jones players chose a song to help create an empty atmosphere in Twickenham. He might be blocky for The Greatest Showman

At least Johnny May hopes it will be when he takes on Georgia today and needs a hat-trick to finish second in England’s scorers’ list.. .

Twickenham bosses asked Eddie Jones’ players to choose a song to play in the empty stadium to help create an atmosphere for the opening weekend of the Autumn Nations Cup. .

The Gloucester Wing, who looted 18 of his 29 attempts at home, asked for a theme from The Greatest Showman .

The tone of the feeling of happiness chimes with the time and time again stated desire of England to put a smile on the face of a nation burdened with fears of Covid.

He may hope that will also lead to an end to his quad-test-free run that dates back to February, but he says gone are the days when he just measured his performance.

« Of course I know I haven’t scored a goal since Paris, when you’re a winger under pressure to score attempts, people expect it, ».

“But you can play a very good game without scoring a try. My mindset is just to focus on my basics.

“If opportunities arise, great. This is my job to take them. But if they don’t, the attempts are like buses, they will come and go.

England have played with Georgia twice before, both at the World Cup. In 2003, they scored 12 attempts in an 84-6 loss, and in 2011 they scored six attempts in a 41-10 win.

He may admit that history generates expectations that England should be wary of because this combination is likely to be a « banana peel ».

Make it clear that people talk about attempts but what you expect from the game can be a trap. « You need to go there with a clear head and play the game as it is.

« It is the state of not slipping into the trap, imposing, frustration, or deviating from the text.

“The challenge is anticipation. How can we continue playing our game, playing the moment and being at our best when we’re expected to score attempts and win well.

The tournament suffered a major setback with the cancellation of the impatiently awaited tomorrow’s match between France and Fiji due to the Coronavirus in the islanders’ camp.
