Manu Tuilagi, the England and Sale Sharks center, has reportedly made a decision on which Top 14 club he will join next season. Tuilagi, who earned his 60th cap for England in their recent loss to France, is set to move across the Channel to Bayonne. Despite being linked with Montpellier and Perpignan, reports from France indicate that Tuilagi has signed a two-year deal with Bayonne after undergoing medical examinations. His move comes after speculation about his future in the Premiership, solidifying Bayonne's midfield options.

England will be without Tuilagi, along with other key players such as Owen Farrell and Kyle Sinckler, but coach Steve Borthwick is optimistic about the team's prospects. Tuilagi's fellow England center Ollie Lawrence praised his impact on the squad and expressed admiration for playing alongside his childhood hero.
