LONDON
British and Irish Lions rugby player Manu Tuilagi apologized Monday for pulling a "bunny ears" gesture prank on British Prime Minister David Cameron.
Prime Minister Cameron hosted the British and Irish Lions players at Number 10 to celebrate this summer's victory over Australia.
During the group photoshoot in front of Number 10, rugby player Tuilagi gave Premier Cameron a pair of "bunny ears," attracting the interest of British media.
Following the publishing of the photos, player Tuikagi apologized to Cameron and announced on his official twitter account, "Apologies for messing around on Lions photo. No offence intended. Great day at Downing Street. Thanks to Prime Minister for hosting us."
Tuilago was fined 3,000 GBP by the Rugby Football Union after jumping from a ferry during England's World Cup campaign in New Zealand two years ago.
