Rugby: England name injured Tuilagi for Australia tour

London: Manu Tuilagi has been named in England’s squad to tour Australia despite suffering a hamstring injury on Saturday that may rule him out of next month’s Test series.

The powerful centre limped off the pitch during Leicester’s Premiership semi-final defeat by Saracens on Saturday, a game in which England back Owen Farrell was also injured. England will assess both players before a final decision on whether they will travel to Australia.

England coach Eddie Jones has named four uncapped players in his 32-man squad, including Leinster’s Worcester-bound centre Ben Te’o. Other new faces include Leicester and Harlequin props Ellis Genge and Kyle Sinckler, along Northampton back-rower Teimana Harrison.
