Tuilagi won’t be rushed back for Ireland clash

England coach Stuart Lancaster is wary of rushing Manu Tuilagi’s rehabilitation after the Leicester centre was ruled out of Saturday’s RBS 6 Nations opener against Scotland.

Tuilagi will miss the clash at Twickenham with an ankle injury.

The explosive 21-year-old is expected to resume full training by the middle of next week and has a chance of returning against Ireland on February 10.
