#6. Manu Tuilagi

Tuilagi has been ruled out of next month’s tour to Australia after undergoing a procedure on his knee, his club Sale Sharks said on Thursday.

“Sale Sharks can confirm that Manu Tuilagi has undergone a routine procedure on his knee which will rule the 31-year-old out of this summer’s England tour to Australia,” the statement read.

“The club, in close consultation with England Rugby, have decided that a summer of rest and a full pre-season is the best course of action.”
