Tuilagi out for rest of season

London - England centre Manu Tuilagi is set to miss the rest of the Premiership season because of a groin injury but should be fit for the World Cup, his Leicester Tigers coach Richard Cockerill said.

The 23-year-old, who has won 25 caps and scored 11 tries for England, is still recovering from the injury he sustained in October.

England's World Cup campaign begins against Fiji on Sept. 18, but they play France at home and away in August before hosting Ireland at Twickenham on Sept. 5.
