Done deal.
Manu Tuilagi looks to have played his final game for England after sealing a surprise move away from the Premiership.
The Sale Sharks centre is out of contract at the end of the season and has been linked with several clubs, but it appears Top 14 minnows Bayonne have won the race to sign the 32-year-old.
According to Canal+, Tuilagi has signed a two-year deal with Bayonne, having undergone medical examinations at the club on Monday.
Tuilagi came off the bench for England in their 33-31 loss to France over the weekend, earn his 60th and likely final cap.
Sale, meanwhile, have signed Fiji captain Waisea Nayacalevu to replace Tuilagi in the centre.
