England rugby star Jonny May has created his own pizza with restaurant chain Zizzi in an attempt to raise money for the Stand Up to Cancer campaign.

The 25-year-old, who has been named in the team to face Fiji in England's World Cup opener on Friday, has created the Lamb Meatball Rustica.

Fifty pence from every order will be given to the Cancer Research UK campaign, which hopes to reach a £1m target by 2018.

"I'm thrilled to be working with Zizzi on this great campaign for such an important cause," the Daily Star quotes May as saying.

"We had a lot of fun coming up with our pizzas in the hope they will rival those already on the menu. I am hoping my pizza will help make a difference and raise plenty of money."

England will host Fiji at Twickenham.
