England centre Manu Tuilagi has apologised for making a “bunny ears” gesture behind the head of British Prime Minister David Cameron in a photocall at 10 Downing Street.
“Apologies for messing around on Lions photo. No offence intended,” Tuilagi said on Twitter. “

Great day at Downing Street. Thanks to Prime Minister for hosting us.”
The British and Irish Lions were invited to the Prime Minister’s official residence on Monday to celebrate their 2-1 series win over Australia in June and July.
Samoan-born Tuilagi, 22, ran into trouble two years ago when he jumped from a ferry during the World Cup in New Zealand. He was fined £3 000 by rugby officials and cautioned by police.
LOL. Hopefully the old farts wont make a fuss about this little innocuous prank.
Very interesting a lesson on how to conduct oneself by the man still serving a ban Tuilagi’s club coach Cockerill as reported on bbc:
His Leicester Tigers coach Richard Cockerill says there was no malice in the 22-year-old’s actions.
“He has been a bit daft. He has made an error of judgement,” Cockerill said.
“He should know better. He is old enough and wise enough to know he shouldn’t have done it.
“We have reminded him of his responsibility and he has apologised on Twitter and he is writing to the Prime Minister to apologise if there was any offence taken.
“He probably thinks he is still at school messing about with his mates. There is a quality to that but also there is a time and a place.”
While it was a wonderful achievement by the Lions, surely the Prime Minister has far more pressing matters to deal with at the moment.
