CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Coach Eddie Jones has picked wing Jonny May and young loose-forward Tom Curry as the stand-out performers on England's tour of South Africa that ended with a consolation 25-10 victory at Newlands on Saturday.

The Springboks won the series 2-1, but were out-thought by England in wet and windy conditions in the final test to end the five-match losing streak that had put pressure on Jones a little over a year out from the World Cup.
