Manu Tuilagi has revealed how he could have avoided more than a year of his injury layoff if he had come clean regarding his initial groin problem, describing the lengths he went to in order to hide it.
The England player admitted he kept the injury quiet for five matches in 2014, spending 15 months out of action as a result. It took the help of a psychologist to ensure he opened up about subsequent fitness problems.
