BAGSHOT, England (Reuters) - Having waited so long to get injury-ravaged Manu Tuilagi back in the England fold, coach Eddie Jones is facing up to the possibility he may lose the big centre again, this time due to a move to a French club that would rule him out of selection.

British media reports on Thursday claimed that Tuilagi, who visited Racing 92's Paris training base last week and whose Leicester contract expires at the end of the season, has agreed to join the French outfit after this year's World Cup.
