LONDON (Reuters) - Sale's Auckland-born winger Denny Solomona has been tipped for a place on the British and Irish Lions' tour to New Zealand by former England back Austin Healey.

The 23-year-old has been drawing rave reviews in England's Premiership since switching from rugby league and scored a first-half hat-trick of tries for Sale against leaders Wasps on Sunday.
