England boss Eddie Jones blasted referee Ben O'Keefe following Manu Tuilagi's red card against Wales.
Although England beat Wales 33-30 to capture the Triple Crown, Jones was clearly furious.
“I usually don't comment on decisions, but I find this bizarre and ridiculous. I don't see how you can tackle a guy now. It's absolute rubbish.
“There is no common sense shown. I don't know what Manu is supposed to do in that situation.
“I don't now how he is supposed to tackle the guy. How else do you tackle if you don't tackle with your shoulder? The guy is literally half a metre off the ground.
“Manu does everything he is supposed to be doing. He gets red carded. Come on. You can't tackle any more.”
LIST | 5 times Manu Tuilagi didn't give a RUCK
Never a dull moment.
1. Jumping off a ferry
During the 2011 Rugby World Cup. the centre, returning from a day-trip with team-mates, dived overboard at around 7pm in the evening and swam to a nearby pier, where he was detained by waiting police. He was subsequently fined £3,000 by the RFU
2. Meeting David Cameron
He made a 'bunny' gesture with two fingers behind Cameron's head while posing for a photo with British and Irish Lions players on Monday. Tuilagi planned to write a letter of apology, but the Prime Minister insists there is no reason to be sorry.
3. Smashing Chris Ashton
Young Tuilagi took Ashton out off the ball with a hit that itself could have been worthy of punishment. A little shove to the back of the head followed from Ashton, but Tuilagi stood up and dished out what can only be described as a three punch combination more fitting for the boxing ring than the rugby field.
4. Hometime
In August 2017, Tuilagi and Denny Solomona were sent home from England’s training camp after returning to the team hotel drunk on a Saturday night. The news came just days after coach Eddie Jones had praised Tuilagi’s ability and dedication, noting that he was ‘worth waiting for’ after injury setbacks.
5. 'When's the rescue attempt?'
That was the call from fans when this video was shared by Leicester Tigers. He really doesn't look enthused to be there!
🐯 @ManuTuilagi says it is a “dream come true” and “privilege” to wear the Tigers badge.
