England handed double fitness boost

England have revealed both Jonny May and Jack Nowell should be fit for the semi-final showdown with New Zealand on Saturday. May picked up a hamstring injury when scoring two tries in the 40-16 win over Australia in the quarter-finals on Saturday, while Nowell also has the same issue. However assistant coach Neal Hatley has played down concerns and expects both to be available as England look to set up a final date against either Wales or South Africa. England coach Eddie Jones is set to name his team to face the All Blacks on Thursday, and looks set to have a fully fit squad to choose from. “It’s fantastic where we are, all 31 being available for selection at the end of the week,” said Hatley. “Jonny’s bouncing around this morning. He has a small twinge and we’ll assess where he is a little bit later today. “He’s in really good spirits, moving well, and we expect Jack to be fit for selection as well.”
