Jonny May shines as Barbarians beat Fiji at Twickenham
By PA
Former England wing Jonny May claimed two tries as the Barbarians beat Fiji 45-32 in a thrilling Killik Cup clash at Twickenham.
May touched down either side of scores from team-mates Lachlan Boshier and Chay Fihaki in a first half which finished level at 17-17, before registering his second 10 minutes after the restart.
New Zealand international Leicester Fainga’anuku and flanker Boshier also crossed twice for a team captained by All Blacks great Sam Whitelock, while Zach Mercer’s try sealed victory late on.
May was joined in the Baa-baas side by the likes of Danny Care, Kyle Sinckler, David Ribbans, Ben Youngs and Jonathan Joseph, plus France pair Gael Fickou and Cameron Woki.
The star-studded selection was pushed hard by Fiji, with Epeli Momo claiming a hat-trick of tries and Kemueli Valentini contributing 10 points, including adding the extras to his own second-half score.
Fly-half Caleb Muntz kicked the Flying Fijians other seven points, while Barbarians full-back Fihaki landed four of his five conversion attempts before Japan hooker Shota Horie slotted the final two points of an entertaining contest.

Beauden is short of a run meanwhile DMac has had plenty of tough games in the last two months so DMac should get the nod based on consistency, form and game time in the saddle. Beauden would go well at either fullback or on the bench. The big question is who plays at halfback. TJ is a fierce and chirpy competitor, Finlay has good form, and Ratima knows DMac the best.
