(Reuters) - England centre Manu Tuilagi cannot represent the national team if he joins a foreign club after his departure from Leicester Tigers, with the Rugby Football Union (RFU) saying it has no plans to alter its selection policy.

The 29-year-old left Premiership side Leicester after opting not to sign a revised contract on reduced terms in line with the league's revised salary cap regulations and has been linked by the media with a move to both English and overseas teams.
