Manu Tuilagi released back to Leicester Tigers by England

Manu Tuilagi will line up for Leicester Tigers against Exeter Chiefs on Sunday after being released back to his club by England.

The 24-year-old joined up with the England squad on Monday after missing the opening three games of the Six Nations as he recovered from a hamstring injury.

Tuilagi has not played Test rugby for England since the 2014 summer tour to New Zealand, as he struggled with a groin injury and was then ruled out of the 2015 World Cup.

The Leicester centre is now fit again, however, and England head coach Eddie Jones has indicated he is in contention for a place on the replacements' bench against Wales.

Tuilagi will return to Leicester for a crucial home game against second-placed Exeter at the weekend before linking up with England again next week.

Eddie Jones has retained 22 players as England continue their build-up to the pivotal clash with Wales at Twickenham on March 12.
