Your support makes all the difference.England centre Manu Tuilagi has been ruled out of next month's autumn series because of a groin injury, his club Leicester have announced.
Tuilagi limped off after 15 minutes of Saturday's 25-18 Champions Cup victory over Ulster and will now miss the Tests against New Zealand, South Africa, Samoa and Australia.
"I'd be very surprised if Manu plays any part in the autumn. He'll clearly be missing for a few weeks as a minimum," Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill said.
