Manu Tuilagi’s wait for a return to Six Nations action with England will go on a bit longer
(Picture: Getty Images)Speaking at lunchtime yesterday, Eddie Jones’s joy was plain to see. He had just named Manu Tuilagi in his squad for the first time this campaign and just the 20th time in his seven seasons in charge.
Jones spoke about how Tuilagi “wins the gainline consistently”, “better than anyone else in the world when he’s at full tilt”; how “he gives us a lot of confidence because he has that physical power and when he plays the players feed off that”; and how Tuilagi is “by far our biggest back, which again gives us something a little bit different”.
