Yes, he may yet still play for England - but EJ has already given him the gypsy's - return to form or.... I would suggest his window of opportunity is closing pretty fast.

I agree that he won't find form at the club in the current climate.Roly wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2018 9:55 amBecause he knows deep down that Tuilagi's ship has sailed. And if it hasn't sailed already, and Tuilagi doesn't find form at the club (unlikely since he's going to be lucky to get the ball the way the forwards are playing), then the incumbents are going to keep him out of the England squad full stop.JP14 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2018 4:52 pmFinally EJ is leaving him alonestrawclearer wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2018 3:21 pm
You're likely to get your wish over the next few weeks...
"Manu Tuilagi will miss out on selection for the Six Nations after England head coach Eddie Jones told the injury-plagued centre to concentrate on recapturing his very best form at Leicester Tigers." Daily Torygraph
Personally, I'd rather have a fit Manu playing for the club.
England have done fine without him.
However, I do think he'll be the next name to test the overseas rule.. That's not me saying I claim to know something, just that I think the French league and climate will suit him far better at this stage.

I hear Toulon is nice.
