Alex Sanderson has called for a sit-down with England following this year's Six Nations in order to reach a resolution on how best to manage the fitness of Manu Tuilagi.
The Sale Sharks centre is one of Eddie Jones ' most valuable assets but has struggled with injuries throughout most of his career.
Tuilagi initially returned to England's XV for Saturday's Six Nations win over Wales but was ruled out of the squad hours later after he suffered a recurrence of the hamstring injury that sidelined him in November.
