Gloucester rugby director David Humphreys hailed Jonny May's sparkling performance against Worcester - and tipped him to be part of the British and Irish Lions squad in New Zealand later this year.

Gloucester romped to their biggest Premiership win for almost two years with a 55-19 victory at Kingsholm.

"The try Jonny scored sums him up. He brings that X-factor," Humphreys said.

"Every time he touched the ball, something happened. He got us over the gain-line, he beat players and just causes defences to panic.

"That's why he is very much part of Eddie's (England head coach Eddie Jones') plans, and why I think he will go with the Lions this summer. On the ball, there are very few better than him."

And reflecting on the performance, Humphreys added: "I think coming off the back of so many close defeats in this competition, and having been left very disappointed by the last couple of weeks, today we showed how we can play.

"The basics were all there - the set-piece was good, our defence was good - and we took our opportunities.

"At this moment in time, it feels like our best performance of the season. Beating Wasps at home was an outstanding performance, but today was a case of in order to score that many points, we took our opportunities."
