Tuilagi does it again in England win

Figure image
Manu Tuilagi was on the mark again as England completed their warm-up for the World Cup with a 20-9 win over Ireland in Dublin.

The 20-year-old Leicester Tigers centre scored his second international try with a clinical burst through the Irish defence during the early stages of the first half.

He almost had a second too, only to be chased down by Tigers colleague Geordan Murphy, earning his 70th cap for Ireland.

Tigers forwards Dan Cole, Louis Deacon and Tom Croft started alongside Tuilagi, with club colleague Toby Flood coming off the England bench in the final 10 minutes.
