It’s a perfect tribute to the man even the title of the music is welcome home welcome back manu,welcome back. I love the extra commentary from the rugby pod 🏉 etc and the black and white bits from the older footage👌👌.class
I'm a die-hard all blacks supporter and I'm Tongan stay in Nz, but Manu one of my fav rugby player, but sad how he always has many injuries, when England always used Manu properly on the field it becomes a little nightmare for the all blacks, could imagine if he still 90% good England midfield will be very dangerous. Still, remember the time when they beat All blacks because manu keep on break the line I was happy that England won that game cause his just another Poly brother from the Pacific Samoa haha
M Tuilagi fulfil’s an very important role to the England backline, which England sorely missed during the Six Nations and the South Africa tour, which is Balance. England’s backline has no heavy ball carriers, hence why Jones sticks Lawes/Itoje at 6 to fulfil Englands inadequacies. With Tuilagi in the squad England would have no real weaknesses in the backline. This would free up the 6 position to a specialist like Brad Shields, Mark Wilson, Rhodes, Robshaw. Having Tuilagi in the squad fixes two of Englands KEY weaknesses.
Exactly our point of attack will change this is why Ashton has been drafted in Ashton was amazing with Manu at 12-13 we struggled with any penetration midfield for years and Ashton was starved of ball with Barritt inside and Brown with no pace. Our forwards have been running backwards to get to our rucks and we can not retain our own ball. Even Teo if only he can get a run of games with out injury would of made a difference. I assume Farrell will be at 10 Ford as back up. So Cips was cast aside, With Cips in at 10 and Manu at 12-13 I think we would have a devastating back line in attack. Hopefully Daly at 15 as brown does not give England an outside att-acking link man. It just bothers me Jones will not try Cips at 10. Manu (fit) England will be a seriously (potentially) attacking back line. Fingers crossed England looked tired and bereft of ideas last 6 Nations. We were still only a few points behind Ireland, Scotland and France. A few decisions in the games did not go our way, we are not far off a great team. Jones should of made team changes in 2017. Bet he ran our team into the ground. Lets see if Jones can change his mindset as Farrell and Ford had no attacking threat. Why is Youngs still there he needs break and Robson needs a run from Wasps....
Tom Butcher Imagine a backline of (Robson/Care)-(Farrell/Cipriani)-(Tuilagi/Te’o)-(Lozowski/Joseph/Slade)with Ashton, Daly, Watson in the back three. Ashton would be so deadly, as everyone in that backline can make breaks and Ashton would be there to finish them. Cipriani and Care would be great off the bench. The main problem England have is the breakdown, Youngs in my opinion is too slow at the breakdown, which allows other teams to set their defence. If Robson started, alongside Shields, Vunipola and Curry, our breakdown should be a lot quicker.
And playing him like this as a one trick pony is why he so injured. Just like they did with Wilkinson. Get him to loose some weight, whuch will help him by putting less strain on repetitive injuries and work more on speed and handling.
As a rugby player that’s faced a lot of the similar injuries that Manu has faced and would like to say have a similar playing style to Manu, thank you for the upload. It’s not easy to recover from injuries and it takes a huge mental toll. Not trying to make this about me, but its awesome to see that Manu is getting back into form and even came off the bench for England.
Lovely tribute. The whole debate over whether or not he'll be effective for England misses out the important thing about his return. He's back, again. We have to appreciate how determined this guy is, and yes, it would be great to see him shine for England, but he keeps coming back, he refuses to let the injuries get to him. And just seeming him giving the best 13 on the planet, J Davies, a tough time, with no strapping on his knees and a smile on his face is one hell of a sight.
The legend is back , manu you have to do this job back to England, i watch already tonga & Argentina world cup match, england need your energy, but me and my nz girl friend miss to take world cup 2019 final match tickets, still I’m worry about that, please England ! Take it back your title , england peoples and specially me hopefully waiting for it , GOOD LUCK ENGLAND 🏴
i used to make jokes about his injuries. I felt like an ass watching this. Must have really been gruelling having to always go back to rehab when you finally think things are back on track. Missing all those tests and the Lions tour too. Jeez.
Excellent video, have subscribed on the strength of this, look forward to seeing more. As for Tuilagi - he is fucking awesome, the personification of the phrase "game-changer".
From a Wallaby supporter - If England are to have any chance of hoisting the Webb Ellis they need this man in the team. I'll never forget the day he single handedly beat the All Blacks. What a talent. Faamalosi uso!!!
Great video. Forgot how exciting Manu is to watch... With the Vunipola's out I hope he can take on the main carrying role within this England side... I like all the hype, but lets not hope we're talking too soon.
@@tombutcher3021 yeah agreed. He still hasn't hit the form that he was on when he was last playing for england, however he's always picked his game up for england and performs 2x better in an england shirt
You also have to take into account Manu and Morgan fitness levels will increase both will drop weight and get faster. Manu especially as i think his lack of game time has added the pounds, by six nations if still fit manu and Morgan will be back to their best.
he was a an animal when he came into the fold as a youngster but after all he's been through with his on and of the field issues, he's came back a Lion and a well disciplined player off the pitch and on the pitch, malo lava uso , wear the rose 2k19 rwc
He’s a great example of honing that Raw Samoan/Polynesian power whilst controlling aggression and discipline enough to become something more than just a bulldozer
KEFE HES A WOMAN BASHING DUMB FUCKING BONGA OF A COCONUT ... YEA NAH HES NOT HONORABLE IF ANYTHING HE SHOULD BE LOCKED UP FOR WHAT HE DID ... FUCKING DIRTY TYPICAL SAMOAN COCO
I truly hope he gets better... its just shame ... he could be or i am asuuming is still the best center in the world. I dont think any one would be able to stop or go past him if he gets better. I really hope he gets a full year of no injuries. god bless him ...
As much as I don’t agree with him playing for England considering literally all his brothers played for Samoa, I still think he’s a cracking player and England are very VERY lucky to have someone like him in their team to use to break lines, but I do love seeing him play and he’s got more skill then Alesana
The first ever match i watched was his outstanding game against new zealand. I fell in love with his style of play. It has been a longtime coming and I am so happy to see him return
As much as I hate England, I hate it more not seeing Manu on the field. An explosive and powerful machine, hope to see him in the World Cup, fingers crossed.
this man needs to be wrapped in cotton wool until the world cup if england wanna win in my opinion he's one of the best in the world when hes fit and a real game changer
Class video! Is it safe to upload premiership now? My last video was taken down on cipriani so I'm wondering whether it's safe to re-upload. nice one buddy
The Rugby Cloud I think so mate. I'm confused as well tbh. I made a video of Sopoaga's debut, it got removed by LDS Sports, but then an hour later they removed the strike and the video was back up.
I’m welsh and even I’m jealous of England for having this amazing talent I wish he was fit all the time as he’s genuinely an exciting player to watch Brute strength with pace and an eye for space
Yeah they are really similar! Similar Build, both flatten players, always looking for crash ball. Both quite injury prone too haha, but both unstoppable when in form.
aidan Well I haven't started one. I was at the Sale vs Connacht game last weekend and he got injured. He came off around the 23rd minute, hopefully it's not too serious. Looked like a quad injury or maybe his ankle. He had a fantastic game the week before against Newcastle though, so it'll be a shame if he's out for a while.
CroseyCompsRugby really??👀😭 wait so are you English? For some reason I thought you were from SA😂 that’s so unfortunate for him to be injured again after just a couple games.
Aaaaand he's injured. FFS 😭😂
This comment just ruined my day aha, was so hyped to see him play at twickenham tomorrow. Oh well, guess he's as unlucky as Wilko... great video tho
Salt Salty Ikr. He's only out for 1 week though! HOPEFULLY he can play against New Zealand... Thanks btw!
@@croseycompsrugby902 yh, i guess i'll have to settle for one of Ashton's pitch length scores aha, if only...
CroseyCompsRugby Jusses I just saw that now as well 😭 good for us though 😂 he would of run over our shitty centers this weekend.😂
And he’s out right now with an Achilles
Manu coming back for England is like when Thor arrives in Wakanda for Infinity War
When this guy gets going he is the greatest player in the world! The power and speed he has is unbelievable.
Who's here after he's played in Japan at the World Cup
One of England’s best 🏴❤️
I agree

What a fantastic piece of work.
Raw Rugby Thanks guys! Used a little bit from the rugby pod!
Recovered from multiple injuries and now he's a member of England's 2019 RWC squad. Beautiful story!
He defo deserved his spot in the England squad literally this man is the reason i started playing rugby.
Hes such an inspirational player
Ironic because he's the reason I'd never go anywhere near a rugby pitch lmao!

i remember watching him play against new zealand back in 2012 on tv. he is basically the reason why england won
My favourite player of all time
Feels good to see him back
Fantastic edit fair play, captured the emotion and the way you did the flash backs was amazing, great choice of song as well. Amazing work!!
An inspiration, a legend
Revisiting this before his six nations return...it brought a tear to my eye

He is a force. Good to see him back.
one of the best edits ive seen in ages. hats off

He’s definitely got the best lag drive out of any back in professional rugby.
Love him! Go get ‘em big man! 😆
Never seen his pssing gme and awareness before. Decent stuff
Great video 👍

Who’s here in August just after they beat Ireland and he got motm
here after we dominated the all backs ;)

@@sebastianpayne2777 if all blacks gave their team that played Wales after.. they would've thrashed you England
Sick vid bro!
Incredible video, perfect music as well. He's injured a day before the South Africa match though :/
When injury free he's easily England's best midfielder
As much as I don’t agree with him playing for England considering literally all his brothers played for Samoa, I still think he’s a cracking player and England are very VERY lucky to have someone like him in their team to use to break lines, but I do love seeing him play and he’s got more skill then Alesana

Insha'Allah USO. Alu
Good
Selflessly gives the try to team mate, class act. 1:42

Good job on the vid mate. Manu tuilagi is a top quality player. Can't wait to see him in action against the springboks on the 3rd of November 2018
World class player fucking love him
Dont like the guy or the team but you cant question his ability and i still enjoy watching him in the england shirt
As a lot of other people commented. Match v NZ got me into NZ and he’s still my favourite player
Needs 4k quality crosey...
Matt Riglar Why would it be from All Blacks fans.....he’s lost many more times to the ABs than he’s won.
Would be interesting to see him go up against one of SAs big centres,quite the physical matchup.
Great! Can you do one on Joe Cogonasiga or however it’s spelt

Brute strength with pace and an eye for space
Quick question from a non rugby player. Why does he give up the try at 1:50? Could’ve made the touch and had the 5 himself but passed it off.
Just unselfish, and likely to get a better angle for the conversion.
Thanks for the reply!
Is RJVR the closest to this man? Imagine Tuilagi and RJVR as center pairing.🤒
Yeah they are really similar! Similar Build, both flatten players, always looking for crash ball. Both quite injury prone too haha, but both unstoppable when in form.
CroseyCompsRugby for sure bro😂 Why do they have to be injury prone though, it’s so shitty😂 would be a crazy pairing that’s for sure.
