Gloucester wing May, who scored a try in last Saturdays win over South Africa, has been working with Vunipola and Mike Brown in the indoor facilities at Pennyhill Park.Eddie Jones was due to name his team to face Fiji at 10am but the England coach has put that back to 2.30pm. Vunipola suffered an upper body injury against the Springboks, although he did return to training on Tuesday, while Brown is expected to be rested with Alex Goode slotting in at full-back. But Mays absence will force a further rejig to Englands back three.If Jonny May is out of this game it is a real shame, said Sky Sports commentator Miles Harrison.He has just returned internationally after nine months out with a knee injury and was so sharp. Hes a real asset and scored a good try against South Africa.Itll be a shame if he misses out but it will be somebody elses opportunity.
