Jonny May says he is driven by the fear of failure as England seek their second victory of the World Cup against Japan and take a major step towards the knockout stage. England ended a run of five defeats in six with a backs-to-the-wall victory against Argentina last Saturday despite Tom Curry’s early red card.
George Ford kicked all 27 points, including three drop goals, meaning England are still waiting for their first try of the tournament. Though they are widely expected to beat Japan, who have failed to kick on since reaching the quarter-finals when they hosted the tournament four years ago, May is wary of the threat they pose.
