Manu Tuilagi is set to make his first appearance of this year’s Six Nations, and potentially his last in England colours, after being named on the bench for Saturday’s match with France in Lyon.

The 32-year-old has missed out on the four matchday squads, having come into the tournament with a groin injury that ruled him out of the opening victories against Italy and Wales. He won his 59th and most recent cap in the World Cup bronze medal match against Argentina in October, playing through the tournament with a broken hand.
