Tuilagi apologises for PM prank

5:29 am on 18 September 2013

The England rugby centre Manu Tuilagi has written to Prime Minister David Cameron to apologise for playing a prank on him during a visit to Downing Street.

Tuilagi made a 'bunny' gesture with two fingers behind Cameron's head while posing for a photograph with British and Irish Lions players on Tuesday.

He has already tweeted an apology for his actions at a function to mark the series win over Australia.

Samoan-born Tuilagi ran into trouble two years ago when he jumped from a ferry during the World Cup in New Zealand.
