could have been worse could have had his jacket undone like Tom Youngs or worse still his hands in his pockets like Matt Stevens - shock horror! - after his previous as well and being a frightfully bad singer!

Its a complete non story, it wasn't the official photo, just one of many and he went for it. I'm sure most of the Commons would find it amusing.

And for those calling it immature, that shouldn't bother any politician, has anyone sat and watch Prime Ministers questions? They act like kids in the playground.

Nice comment on glaws forum.

Typical of the stupid self centered idiot and as for Tuilagi !

There are some sanctimonious old farts about. Bit of harmless fun, it's not like cheating on your expenses or taking bribes is it?
Of course this is my own opinion and other posters may have a different perceived factual viewpoint.

to be fair, Cameron met up with a rugby squad! he's lucky Sam Warburton didn't make him neck a pint of his own urine, or that he was made to run around the gardens of No. 10 whilst BO'D shot paintballs at him!
Never mind the ball, get on with the game!!

It's not like the media search for things to do with the Tigers is it!
Get over yourselves It's a bit of harmless fun, his hand was up there for 2 seconds at most in what must have been ages of this Photo shoot & for who do you think the publicity was for Rugby or DC?

You are indeed lucky, we don't get that in France. The closest to a fun moment was Pascal Papé declaring after his visit to the Elysée Palace : "It is nice in zere, you have stones. Stones and flowers in ze garden." :smt009

Exactly, especially as at Manu's age Cameron was in the Bullingdon club, doubtless getting up to much more disruptive pranks.

I wonder if the comments on here would have been the same if it was Farrell or North who made the gesture instead of Manu?

It wasn't a gesture, a gesture would have been flicking the V's at DC not doing the bunny ears! It was a bit of joking around while he was bored.

Manu, you have nothing to apologise for.

News from @LeicesterTigers - Manu Tuilagi to write personal letter of apology to David Cameron after his 'bunny ears' prank at No10.

From the above tweet, its clear from this that the club thinks different to some of the posters on this subject
