Manu Tuilagi Bio

Manu Tuilagi is a popular player with rugby in his blood. Not only are his five older brothers all established Samoan internationals, they all played for Leicester Tigers, much like Manu himself. 

Born in May 1991 in Fogapoa, Samoa, Manu Tuilagi moved to the UK as a teenager to follow his brothers on their respective career paths, before joining Rumney RFC's youth setup. Shortly after, he moved to Leicester to join the Tigers' academy at the age of 15. 

Tuilagi made his first official appearances for Leicester Tigers in 2009, but his breakthrough season with the senior side was the 2010-11 season, when he quickly became an established first-team regular.

Manu Tuilagi's first taste of silverware came when Leicester won the Aviva Premiership final in 2013, beating Northampton 37-17. He scored a try in the match and was instrumental in his side's victory.

Between 2009 and 2020, Tuilagi made 128 appearances for Leicester Tigers, capturing two Premiership Rugby titles and two Anglo-Welsh Cups. He then left the club at the end of the 2020 season and joined Sale Sharks, where he remained until 2024. He’s since represented Bayonne in the French Top 14

Despite his five brothers all representing Samoa, Manu Tuilagi opted to play for England after growing up and learning the game in the country. After qualifying through residency, he made his England debut in August 2011 in a Rugby World Cup warm up match against Wales

Between then and 2024, he was capped 60 times by his country. During this time, he won two Six Nations Championships and represented England in a Rugby World Cup final. Thanks to his performances on the international stage, he was named in the British and Irish Lions squad for the team’s 2013 tour of Australia

Manu Tuilagi is currently ineligible to play for England because he’s playing domestic rugby in France. However, despite no longer appearing on the international stage, he still has a lot to offer for Bayonne.
