Watch: Manu and Posolo Tuilagi celebrate family reunion with fans

The new Top 14 season in France got underway last weekend and one of the most charming moments was the on-street family reunion of Manu and Posolo Tuilagi. Ex-England midfielder Manu is Posolo’s uncle and while he was unable to play in the opening round league match at Parc des Sports Jean Dauger due to a broken hand suffered in a pre-season game last month against Biarritz, his unavailability on the pitch last Saturday didn’t affect his upbeat post-game mood.

Following the 21-19 win that Bayonne clinched with a 77th-minute Joris Segonds penalty, Manu was seen dancing in the streets with Posolo, the French international second row who was a 53rd-minute Perpignan replacement for South African Marvin Orie.

A rugbyrama.fr report read: “The Tuilagi family got together for Bayonne-Perpignan. Posolo and his uncle Manu, who has just arrived in the Top 14, celebrated their reunion in style with many supporters. One of the beautiful images of the weekend.

      Munster coach Graham Rowntree gives an injury update that will have the Springbok coaches salivating

      “As is often the case, Bayonne and Catalan supporters shared a moment of conviviality at the end of the match, won by Aviron. The match was also an opportunity to organise special reunions.

      “Deprived of a duel on the field due to a hand injury, Manu Tuilagi was still able to meet his nephew Posolo to enjoy the post-match. In the streets of Bayonne, the two goliaths celebrated their reunion as it should be, accompanied by many supporters.”

      Why NZR's Ineos settlement may be the most important victory they'll enjoy this year

      I wouldn’t think the risk is cash flow, as they have large cash reserves they said all through covid.


      I suspect the author has it completely wrong as it pertains to the pool as well, because I can’t see the contracts of players changing year to year like revenue does.


      I’d imagine there is an agreed principle to a ‘forecast’ figure of revenue for a cyclical period, and this is what 37% or whatever of is used for player salaries. So it would not change whatever that figure is until the next cycle. Cash flow, as you said, would be the main factor, but as they aren’t paid all it once, they’d not be hindered in this manor I don’t believe. Of all the references I’ve seen of a the player pool agreement, not once have I seen any detail on how the amount is determined.


      But yes, that would be a very reasoned look at the consequences, especially compared those I’ve seen in articles on this site. Even with turnonver north of $350 million a year, 20 is still a sizeable chunk. Like this RA’s broadcast deal, they might have smaller sponsorship for a short period to align with everything else, then look to develop the deal further heading into the Lions tour cycle? Perhaps trying to take a deal from low to high like that is unlikely to a long term investor, and NZR want to get a good shortterm deal now so they can capitalize on growth for the Lions (i’m assuming that series has consequences on more than just broadcast deals right).

      Maro Itoje hits back at England critics over repeated claim

      MY  HERPES STORY AND HOW I WAS CUREDFor years, I struggled with the emotional and physical burden of the herpes virus, believing I would have to live with it forever. I tried countless treatments, medications, and therapies, but nothing seemed to bring lasting relief. It felt like a battle with no end in sight until I discovered a natural remedy that changed everything (herbs). Skeptical at first, I decided to give it a try, and to my surprise, I started noticing improvements in my overall well-being within two days of taking the medication. With consistency as prescribed by the herbal doctor, I felt healthier, more energized, and free from the symptoms that had once controlled my life. After completing the treatment, (14days) I visited my doctor for confirmation, and I was overjoyed with the results. I tested negative. I was cured from my HSV1&2This experience has given me back my confidence, peace of mind, and a renewed sense of hope. If you or someone you know is struggling with herpes or other health concerns like HPV, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, PCOS, or hepatitis, know that there are alternative options available and you will be cured. For those seeking a natural approach to wellness, I encourage you to explore this path with an open mind. You never know how life-changing it might be.
