Tuilagi to learn fate this evening

Leicester centre Manu Tuilagi will find out this evening whether he will miss out on the Aviva Premiership final after being cited for punching Northampton wing Chris Ashton.

Tuilagi landed a three-punch combination on the England star in the 32nd minute of Leicester’s 11-3 top-flight semi-final success on Saturday, with both players receiving yellow cards from referee Wayne Barnes on the advice of assistant referee Robin Goodliffe.
