Tuilagi’s back for England
MANU TUILAGI has been included in Eddie Jones’ updated 36-player England squad for their summer Tests against the USA and Canada.
The 30-year-old Sale centre has played three times since returning from an Achilles injury sustained in September, including Saturday’s 40-30 Premiership semi-final defeat by Exeter.
Seven players from Sale and the other beaten Premiership semi-finalists Bristol have been picked, with 22 uncapped players in the group.
Saracens’ Billy Vunipola joins the list of senior players rested that includes George Ford, Jonny May and Ben Youngs, while 12 England players involved with the British & Irish Lions’ tour of South Africa are unavailable.
