Jonny May believes England are in good hands under coach Steve Borthwick, who the winger has described as a "genius".
But they have steadily improved during the World Cup, culminating in an outstanding display in the 16-15 loss against South Africa. "If anybody is going to crack the code to rugby it will be Steve - he's getting ever closer each week and good luck to him."I've learned a lot from him. I've been very grateful for all the coaches I've had throughout my career and I've absorbed everything I possibly can, always trying to learn and be curious.
"Cracking it is not something I'm interested in doing as the game gets more complicated each week, but he's obsessed with it so hats off to him."May was not included in Borthwick's initial 33-man squad for the tournament but was called up when Anthony Watson pulled out because of injury and has been a regular starter in France.
