It comes four years on after a barnstorming performance at the same stage of the competition in Japan during the win over New Zealand.The Samoa-born centre was also a crucial part of England’s Six Nations successes in 2016 and 2020, offering a unique skillset with and without the ball. During this World Cup campaign, Tuilagi, whose brothers Freddie, Henry, Alesana and Andy all featured for Samoa, has been at the forefront of England’s unbeaten run into the semis.England opened their campaign by beating Argentina despite playing with 14 men for 77 minutes, whilst Tuilagi scored in last Sunday’s 30-24 quarterfinal victory over Fiji.
Tuilagi came through Leicester Tigers’ academy, winning the English Premiership twice, but moved to Sale Sharks in 2020. “He really takes interest in his team-mates,” Sale’s South Africa fly-half Robert du Preez told“He kind of started our coffee corner, taught everyone how to use the machine; he’ll be there for 20 minutes making everyone brews. “He makes a lot of effort with the boys,” the 30-year-old added.Aside from a love of coffee, Tuilagi is equally attached to chess and snooker.
