Denny Solomona’s rugby union career is only 18 months old but it has, to put it mildly, been eventful. He has scored 21 tries in 28 Premiership matches for Sale after terminating his contract with rugby league’s Castleford, which cost the Sharks a reported £300,000 in compensation and legal fees, marked his debut for England in Argentina last year with the winning try in the first Test, was sent home from a national training camp two months later in disgrace after a late‑night drinking session with Manu Tuilagi and missed the final month of this season while he served a ban for allegedly making a homophobic remark to the Worcester fly-half Jamie Shillcock.
The 24-year-old wing, who was capped by Samoa in rugby league, has been in Brighton with England this past week, preparing for next Sunday’s friendly against the Barbarians at Twickenham before the three-Test tour to South Africa.
