I want to let my rugby do talking - Denny Solomona

Sale Sharks wing Denny Solomona said he is determined to earn his place in the England squad following the latest setback that saw him released from the training camp in Teddington by Eddie Jones.

Solomona along with his England team-mate Manu Tuilagi were reported to have returned to the team hotel drunk ahead of the final day's training which did not go well with Jones and a statement released by Rugby Football Union cited 'team culture issues' as the reason behind the action.

However, the 23 year old said he will do everything within his reach to win the confidence of Jones back and more importantly a regular spot with the red rose team.

"He's just said to train harder and play harder and that's what I'll do," Solomona told Press Association Sport. "I need to do what he says. That's the only way I'll achieve what I want to achieve.

"By training hard, I'll improve my game capabilities and I'll learn a lot more. And in the game I'll go as hard as I can and give everything I've got every single game.

"I'm hungry for it. I'm eager for it and I'm only going to train harder and play as good as I can to let my rugby do my talking

"What happened was out of character, it was definitely a mistake on my behalf. I'll cop that on the chin and I'll work harder to get back.

"I put that person behind me a long time ago."

Meanwhile, Sale Sharks rugby director Steve Diamond credited Jones for the right action but also expressed confidence on the rugby league convert to bounce back from the setback.

"It's been dealt with," Diamond said. "When you're representing England you've got to keep your guard up, you can't afford to make those errors.

"Certainly when someone like Eddie is looking after the shop discipline is part of the culture.

"Eddie's one of the best coaches in the world and he knows what young lads get up to some of the time. A rap on the knuckles goes a long way.

"Denny was unfortunate, he probably did something out of character and he's paid the price by having a b********g from Eddie. What he's got to do is jump back on the horse and play well again.

"No one is disputing his ability on the field. I think it was a momentary lapse of concentration for him.

"As long as I've known him - and it's getting on for 12 months now - he's been an exception at training. He's not a drinker and he abides by the rules.

"He's done what a young lad does occasionally."

Diamond also admitted that he was impressed with how Solomona responded to the challenge.

"He's fully rejuvenated," Diamond added. "He had a great time in Argentina, he came off the tour with huge raps from the England management team.

"We gave him six or seven weeks off and he's turned back in fine form. He scored in the friendly against Castres and made a try-saving tackle against Edinburgh at the weekend that shoved the guy into the hoardings.

"Hopefully he can get back on the horse on the field next week and the week after and get back into the England squad where everybody watching knows he belongs."
