MANU TUILAGI TOOK Chris Ashton out on a ‘man date’ in order to clear up any bad feeling over the punch he landed on his England team-mate last May.
Leicester wing Tuilagi was given a ten-week ban, later reduced to five, for punching Ashton during his side’s Aviva Premiership semi-final against Northampton Saints.
Both players are part of England’s pre-World Cup training camp and the 20-year-old Tuilagi told the Daily Mail how he managed to bury the hatchet with the former Wigan Warriors man – he took him to the cinema.
“We had a night out together. We watched Transformers… Romantic,” he stated.
