The Leicester centre has scored 11 tries in 27 Tests, but has not started for England in more than three years Jonathan Brady/PAManu Tuilagi and Denny Solomona were sent home from England’s training camp in disgrace today after returning drunk to the team hotel, The Times understands. The two players missed the final session of England’s three-day gathering in Teddington, southwest London, after being disciplined for what the RFU described as “team culture issues”. Solomona scored the match-winning try against Argentina on his England Test debut in June Emmanuel Rodriguez Villegas/APSolomona made his England debut on the summer tour of Argentina, scoring the winning try in the first Test, while Tuilagi’s inclusion in the 37-man training squad was a step towards reigniting an international career. Tuilagi has played 17 minutes of Test rugby since June 2014 due to serious chest, groin and knee injuries. His banishment from the camp is the latest in a line of disciplinary issues that have scarred his career.
