Manu Tuilagi's Catalogue of Big Hits & Great Tackles!

[@johanescobar4447]

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?

[@AndrewDavidForde]

Definitely on the cards!

[@robthegungunsen]

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.

[@philipeafroboy1]

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

[@Justwordsasau]

He qualifies already for destroying the all blacks single handedly 😅

[@jikacemo]

Due to he's physical style of play is what is causing him injuries

[@nickmoran3236]

He already is an all time great of England back line. Can’t think of many that would get in ahead other than Greenwood and Guscott

[@floydfreeman1318]

In my opinion he is already but I can’t decide 12 or 13

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.

[@kinghenrob34]

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

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

[@harrydennis6854]

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

[@sly4x692]

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

[@toma411]

It's gonna sound weird, but Manu really is stronger than he looks. Freakish athlete in his prime. You'll never see Esterhuizen absolutely rocked running full tilt like he was at 0:44. Honestly could go toe to toe with every player on his day

[@Alex-mj5dv]

The power he generates in the hit is immense. Not many small guys in this video either .. mostly forwards, large backs .. obviously has a penchant for smashing Saffers with a bit of a hard carrying reputation .. CJ Stander, Andre.. even castles big D Vermuelen!

[@williamfrancecamera]

"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

[@685inthefatu]

Lawrence has cemented it surely now

[@Alex-qc1mt]

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

Love watching Manu play, always something exciting happening.

[@MrSamuelatkinson1]

Thanks for this video 👍

[@jocollman9303]

Tuilangi is a beast!!!!

[@charlottescott7150]

Amazing video. His speed and skill is brilliant.

[@Simba65315]

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

[@kellyoubre9778]

He’s the reason why I play center😂🐐🇼🇸

[@jocollman9303]

I love rugby

[@ghostdogg495]

Prime Manu is just....

[@ElliotG89]

DAYUMMM.

[@thecuttingsark5094]

WHAMMO !

[@johanescobar4447]

And another “Fijian Shrug” compilation?

[@johanescobar4447]

First!

[@liamgibson7471]

And when he gets it wrong its a 4 game ban

[@jonnybaynham1689]

Well done for Google searching the one time he got banned

[@handcrafted30]

Most of those would be yellow cards now

[@AndrewDavidForde]

No they wouldn’t

[@knucklesaukuso5086]

Absolutely not they’re all legit 💯%

[@Simba65315]

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