If it wasn't for his cruel run of injuries, he'd easily be in the all-time greats English backline. 13 years of International Rugby and only 59 caps, seriously unlucky.

testament to his freakish ability really, always straight back in the England squad after injury. Hasn't helped that we haven't had too much depth at centre

I have to say, Andrew, your dedication to finding this footage is just fantastic. It’s always a highlight when I find there’s a new one to watch. Have you considered another “players playing out of position” compilation?

Definitely on the cards!

Any of the “rugbys gone soft” crowd just need to see players like Tuilagi. He hits at sternum height, hard and fast and delivers some of the hardest and best hits, in a completely legal way. He’s at no risk of doing anything illegal himself, he’s such an underrated tackler

Biggar gets the biggest balls award from me. Sees Tuilagi coming, doesn’t flinch, catches the ball, takes the hit, presents the ball. Proper warrior that man.

Manu's defensive prowess was so important to England's 2019 world cup. NZ couldnt get the ball past 12 from Manu's blitz defence. Not just big hits, but the ability to completely close the space was brilliant

One of the biggest tackling backs ever. Just a thing of beauty to watch

Tuilagi lining up againt Tuisova in the 2023 world cup was colossal....

"Manu Tuilagi, destroyer of worlds". He was great for England, but think we need to be looking beyond him a bit now in squad selections

Lawrence has cemented it surely now

Love watching Manu play, always something exciting happening.

Thanks for this video 👍

Tuilangi is a beast!!!!

Amazing video. His speed and skill is brilliant.

Missed Tuilagi ending David Wallace's career

I still remember watching that live, the Irish after that game knew England had found someone a bit special.

Love that last clip. Bet the ref owed that player that got tackled a beer for letting the play go

He’s the reason why I play center😂🐐🇼🇸

My favourite England player of the past decade. Think he has changed English rugby culture and identity.

I love rugby

DAYUMMM.

WHAMMO !

Prime Manu is just....

And another “Fijian Shrug” compilation?

First!

And when he gets it wrong its a 4 game ban

Well done for Google searching the one time he got banned

Most of those would be yellow cards now
