England confirms injured Tuilagi out of Australia tour

Print Edition

ENGLAND has confirmed center Manu Tuilagi’s withdrawal from the three-test rugby tour of Australia next month.

Tuilagi, 25, was always in doubt after tearing his right hamstring on May 21 in the English Premiership semifinals. A scan on Monday, reviewed by the England rugby medical team, revealed he would not be available for any part of the tour. England coach Eddie Jones said in a statement yesterday “it’s bad luck for Manu so close to the tour, but it provides a great opportunity for someone else”. His replacement will be named after the test against Wales on Sunday at Twickenham. England flies out the next day.
