Lowe replaced by May in England squad

Posted on June 17, 2012 by Ken

England wing George Lowe has been replaced by Gloucester’s Jonny May for the final week of their South African tour, team management announced on Saturday.

“May flew overnight as a replacement for George Lowe (Harlequins) who will return home tonight for further consultation after a scan showed left ankle ligament damage.” the statement said.

Lowe was injured during the midweek game against the Southern Barbarians in Kimberley after his foot was trapped in an awkward position by a tackle.

The 22-year-old May is uncapped by England.

“It’s a shame for George because he had a good game against the Southern Barbarians until he was injured. But this is an opportunity for another young player who has come up through our age-grade programme and into the Saxons to gain some valuable international tour experience,” England head coach Stuart Lancaster said.

  • Thought of the Day

    John 14:20 – “On that day you will realise that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.”

    All the effort and striving in the world, all the good works and great sacrifices, will not help you to become like Christ unless the presence of the living Christ is to be found in your heart and mind.

    Jesus needs to be the source, and not our own strength, that enables us to grow spiritually in strength, beauty and truth.

    Unless the presence of Christ is a living reality in your heart, you will not be able to reflect his personality in your life.

    You need an intensely personal, more intimate relationship with Christ, in which you allow him to reveal himself through your life.
