There's A New TUILAGI & He's A Beast - 150kg 19 Year Old Posolo Tuilagi

[@robertalker652]

I'm thinking the NFL is watching him, which is an honor for this gentleman. But I hope he stays with Rugby all the same.

[@michaelhorne4742]

His family is rugby royalty basically his uncle manu was best player in the world at a point. Already plays international rugby for France and there clubs pay very well in rugby terms.. Can't see him switching but who knows.

[@Jerry-yr1en]

I wouldn’t be surprised after all his dad is like a silverback gorilla and he’s King Kong

[@pt6595]

His dad in his prime was actually King Kong. Posolo is still only a kid! He'll be scary in his prime years.

[@zisssssou]

150kg at only 19 years-old is just freaking. That said, he will have to lose a bit to gain in mobility for international rugby. Let's see his first minutes from the bench, tonight vs ireland

[@264hugo]

Yeah, a lot of people see him shedding some weight and playing third row, he's a bit short for second row

[@264hugo]

@MusaLdn what we've seen of him so far at international level is really good, I hope it's the kind of gift that keeps on giving

[@fderon]

We love him in Perpignan! 💪

[@theduder232]

I'm not sure I've ever seen a human this big with that kind of lateral movement or explosiveness. What an athelete.

[@binxe64]

He is 19 and already an international player for France. He could become one of the most noticeable player of the decade

[@KiwiPepega]

France has never been, and never will be, a top rugby nation. Their players are bad and with all this NH influence trying to change the laws to stop NZ from dominating they are still not succeeding. Best you can do is barnes cheating in a final and giving it to his boyfriends.

[@davidhall5838]

He's a bit too top heavy atm so he's easier to take down than he should be

[@nox8730]

His body is great, but it is easy to see that simply a body is not enough to go far in rugby. You need the mindset, the skills, the discipline. It seems to me like he has it all. He doesn't necessarily try to go straight ahead using brute force all the time. I believe that if he is a rugby monster, it is not merely because he has an imposing body. It seems to me like rugby simply oozes from all his pores. This part is true for the whole family. They are a legend of rugby by now.

[@dreireid733]

And he's only 19😬

[@danielmacdonald721]

Needs to shed a bit of weight to succeed properly at top level, he carries a lot of unnecessary excess fat. Also a bit too short for a lock at top level, he’s only 192cm. Could do with a possible position change as well

[@koketsoncongwane1602]

Yea I think since hes now in the france senior team they gonna get him to cut to at least 125-130 And Maybe move him to 8man? Anywhere but prop ive heard talk of him moving to front row which wouldn’t make sense since he’s been playing lock and loose forward he probably wouldn’t be the best scrummager

[@Poolllll123]

I would say 8 is the best

[@danielmacdonald721]

@@koketsoncongwane1602 yea I agree that sounds best move for him really, I’d say 8 if he can lose like 20kg

[@ridgerunnersp]

He's 19 and in the national program, I'm sure there's a whole team working on his long term development plan. They're doing a pretty good job so far, let's let them work eh?

[@snowmotion9921]

There's absolutely no reason for all second rows to be over 2,00m tall. The advantages of being tall in rugby are being an option in lineout, being powerful during scrums, rucks cleanouts and ball in hand. But many many second rows are not jumpers so Tuilagi not jumping isn't an argument and he seems like the most powerful rugby player right now for scrummaging, clearing rucks and enforcing defenses so what's the issue with him not being 2m tall then ? We are just used to have tall second rows because that's what makes them good at their role but what if you can perfectly do the job or even better without looking the same ? People with your mindset thought that Mike Philipps was too tall to be a scrumhalf, Lomu was too big to be a winger, Messi was too small to be a professionnal athlete and Usain Bolt shouldn't have been a sprinter...
