LONDON (Reuters) - England left winger Jonny May has been dropped and replaced by Jack Nowell in a 26-man training squad for Sunday's Six Nations clash with Ireland in Dublin.

May has failed to shine in wins over Wales and Italy and makes way for Nowell, who featured in all five matches during last season's tournament and has been in sparkling form for his club Exeter.
