You know that Henry Tuilagi's a beast when even the South African forwards are shocked by his size and power.
What a monster. Bumps off Rossouw and Smith, throws off Burger with one hand, drives Os du Randt back a few metres and nearly breaks the tackle of Bakkies
When the saffas refer to you as a massive unit ......
Do you know how strong you need to be to fend off Burger!! Burger is NO slouch he is the real deal. Tuilagi had amazing strength.
He only played 10 caps for Samoa n yet he’s the best #8 to ever wear the blue jersey
Since 95 there's always been such mutual respect for the islanders. Have to love Schalk and Jacques and co. for keeping that alive but what a legend Tuilagi is / was. Those islanders pretty much epitomise what a natural rugby player is made of, literally genetically designed for the game..
Apart from his massive built, cannot deny the fact that Henry also loved to run and he was quick, hard runner
No matter where you come from, no matter the skin color, ethnicity or whatever, but when you have the love and respect for others, is the best thing in life. I'm full blooded Samoan and just watching these videos makes me think that at the end of the day we are one. Funny watching these 2 legends talking about hiw big Henry was and then you look at them they're massive lol.
As a South African this was my first world cup where i was old enough to watch all the games probably will forever be my favourite one this the games we played against samoa tonga fiji close hard games honestly the first time ive ever seen Polynesians but after that world cup i wanted to offload like the fijians wanted to play wing like alesana hit people like finau maka have a big afro as well the second one didn’t really work out ahah but basically saying to me those games were always great to watch and inspired me to play the way i did. And even today i watch tonga fiji and samoa play even if the dont play the springboks always be my teams after the bokke of course 😊😊😊
After this game henry tuilagi become my favourite Samoan rugby player. Respect from Fiji
And this is coming from Burger, one of the toughest flankers in the history of the sport. That says a lot. Heck, the whole Springbok pack has always been a no nonsense type of group, yet they were quite wary of Henry even before the game started. It sucks that the ref ruined this game; it would’ve been a very competitive game. I remember Semo Sititi saying to the ref that there are two teams playing as he felt the ref was only keeping an eye on one team; and on one occasion, the ref kept rewarding South Africa scrums just five meters away from the scoreline, when it was already halftime and the hooter had already sounded, which they eventually scored a try. I’m not saying Samoa would have won, but the ref ruined the game’s competitiveness. Refs need to be held accountable for their performance, especially if they consistently and intentionally make calls against a team.
By all means Henry was a beast. Even Springboks legends acknowledge his speed and brute strength.
Once the 4/5 brothers have had 4/5 of their own, then we can have a full team of only tuilagis. That would be epic. Scary AF, but awesome
I remember that World Cup very well. Henry Tuilagi running full pace into a defensive line is enough to scare any grown man.
When a warrior like Burger gives you respect it means smth.!!!
Got to be the hardest family to ever play the game size power aggression out matched
Those taro leg drives probably what kept players up at night. Knowing you gotta stop a Samoan Freight Train.
1.40 Henry Tuilagi driving back 133kg Os du Randt like he's a little child. Crazy power.
You don’t hear this every day from a Bokkas forward pack esp no 6 but it’s so good to see and listen to the lads again 👍
