Nowell and May set to play for Barbarians

Jonny May was a high-profile omission from Steve Borthwick's first Six Nations squad

England wings Jack Nowell and Jonny May are set for a Twickenham return for the Barbarians against a World XV in May.

May and Nowell will join Dan Cole and Sam Simmonds in the Barbarians ranks.

Jones' Barbarians face Steve Hansen's World XV - set to include Australia pair Marika Koroibete and Nick Phipps - on 28 May.

The involvement of all English-based players is contingent on their clubs not being involved in the Premiership final, which takes place a day earlier at Twickenham.

Other players understood to have provisionally signed up for the Barbarians are Welsh great Alun Wyn Jones, South Africa and Harlequins centre Andre Esterhuizen, and 50-cap former All Black fly-half Aaron Cruden, while Fiji superstar Semi Radradra is expected to play for the World XV.
