    Tuilagi must start against Ireland

    By Eurosport | Oval Talk – Wed, Feb 6, 2013 10:39 GMT

    If fully fit, Manu Tuilagi must be thrown straight into the starting line-up for England's trip to Ireland on Sunday - despite Billy Twelvetrees's successful Test debut.

    The 21-year-old Tuilagi, who sat out last weekend's win over Scotland, has recovered from an ankle injury and is available for selection for the mouth-watering clash in Dublin, which is already being billed as a potential title-decider.

    Yet Stuart Lancaster's apparent midfield headache is not as difficult to solve as many would have you believe.

    About Oval Talk

    Rugby has to fight for its voice in the football-obsessed world of British sport, but thankfully there are enough fans of the oval ball to warrant a weekly look at issues affecting the game. Oval Talk cannot promise the same level of scurrilous tittle-tattle and unfounded rumour that emerges daily from football columns, but - casting off its Barbour and adopting the refreshing candour of an Aussie commentator – it can bring you the kind of debate that would have had old farts at HQ spluttering into their Fullers.
