Manu Tuilagi nears England recall

Tuilagi nears England recall

England's interim coach Stuart Lancaster has revealed that he is ready to play Manu Tuilagi during Saturday's Six Nations clash with Wales.

The 20-year-old has not featured for England since the World Cup because of a hamstring injury.

However, he has now recovered and will play "some part in the game" at Twickenham.

"It's nice having people like [Tuilagi] coming back into the equation," said Lancaster.

"He brings an awful lot of impact and power to the game so it'll be an interesting decision coming up but I certainly think he'll be playing some part in the game."

Tuilagi was fined by the Rugby Football Union for jumping from a ferry during the World Cup.
