This guy came at the restaurant I was working at a few years back. Very humble, chill, polite. He looks even bigger when he's in front of you so i'd shit my pants on a rugby field.
Gopr311 Henry bumps off everyone, forwards and backs Including Schalk Burger, Danie Russow who are fearsome tacklers. And a few unlucky opensides/blindsides from the scrum. Manu’s body count doesn’t stack up
this guy is down right dangerous to play against....I'm srs. It's amazing to behold such physical strength in a human being, but he's just in a different category...He could dislocate a guy's shoulder during a game on a big tackle...one of those smaller 80kg guys, for sure no question...
You can tell this dude loves this sport, but if he was in the NFL, he'd be one of THE highest paid players at any position he played. He looks for contact and a chance to punish a tackler. Amazing....
@@Spoons7414 you ain't wrong. This dude weighs in at 282 pounds and runs like he's 80 lbs lighter. He's all muscle too and is as compact as you can ever be.
If any rugby forward played NFL they would be by far the best. Even amateur rugby players from tier 1 nations would murder American footballers on the field. American football is a contact sport, rugby is a collision sport.
Hyrum Leuea lmaooo there’s a lot more technique and IQ into fball than just hitting. He would be a lost duck getting hit from every angle if he didn’t have the IQ. Just like American footballers would in rugby. Don’t be ignorant.
heights163 true I think Hyrum leuea spoke a bit hastily. Rugby is more of a game of maintaining structure and order whilst simultaneously hammering your opponent and constantly keeping the pressure on them. Whilst NFL is more about individual skill about beating your opponent 1 v 1 and as the play stops after every tackle you can coordinate set moves and plays designed to confuse and misdirect players this causes NFL players to be specialised into their roles whilst rugby players tend to be more all round players in both attack, defence, strength and speed whilst nfl players are super strong but no speed such as linemen or speedy and agile such as receivers. I am not saying that these linemen can’t be fast or these receivers can’t be strong but I am saying in general. I would say that a rugby player is most like a running back in the nfl.
Thats what Polynesians shine in - hard physical sport, short bursts of explosive energy - cos thats what they are built for... and may God help the poor bastards standing in the way...!
Be an Overcomer yeah they perform a Polynesian war dance before playing but look at like 70% of their players that aren’t Polynesian and the country itself which is more European than Maori
🇼🇸RAGING SAMOAN BULL 🇼🇸 How Can the Polynesian men of such a size run so fast and make it effortless, agile people's make them thee envy of the world and gifted players one and All , and deserving of a place in Southern Hemisphere tournament Australia, NZealand , SAfrica and Argentina a recent inductee to the tournament why can't Samoa, Tonga , Fiji all have a place🇼🇸🇹🇻🇹🇴
SistorCarrera - Very true. This dude benched press 585 lbs FIVE TIMES without anyone spotting him. That's like bench pressing over 2 thousand lbs once.
Big Henry was winger prop forward a beast of a man and now his son Posolo is the next Samoan Beast for World rugby there's some hard knocks genetics there 💪 😊
The guy is 280lbs except is as fast and agile as a 160lb athlete, plus benches 550lb for 5... Absolute monster. I think the guy was known for requiring at least 3 dudes to be brought down.
I appreciate the skill they display in putting Pacific Islanders on the map. Admiring their achievement im proud to say i would love my son to follow their example and play the sport of Rugby like them.
One of the most intimidating rugby players of all time! I don't think this video even does him justice. 😳 I haven't got a problem with a player playing hard but fairly.
I had the pleasure seeing him and manu at a restaurant, from a far he dewarfd everyone around him, fkn wide Unit. They were with a group of 5 other islanders who were also massive. Everyone kept staring and pointing at them in amaze. They walked past me after lunch and I literally couldn't stop starting at them. God like.
Do remember than Lomu was about 5" taller and quite a bit faster than Tuilagi and with the different positions as well it's all relative. It took the entire Springbok Backrow to get Henry down. With Lomu he started out as a forward, and when he switched to the backs it wasn't a fair contest 99% of the time. But to support what you're saying he did put Phil Vickery to shame!
it took 3 brothers to get name out there.. it only took LOMU to put himself on the map and made it LEGEND.. Go right a head with all the weight comparisons of players they rund over.. LOMU will always be the favorite one.
and if you want to see another henri's bif hit, search tuilagui vs ben fodden, when he play against northampton Henry Tuilagi smashes Ben Foden Perpignan v Northampton Saints 161009 Rugby, and for information the tacle at 2:54 was punished by a red card...
Hardly - he was the pioneer of the Tuilagi rugby dynasty, the first to put on a Leicester tigers Jersey, and a Samoa jersey. He now runs a children's rugby training programme, so there's nothing truly shit about him.
his opponents never knew what he was going to do, weather he was going to run around them, step them, throw them off, or simply run over the top of them!! Lomu didn't need to use intimidation tactics such as the big hits and power plays and taunts that the Tuilagi boy's would use. Lomu was like a Hurricane, he was unpredictable, unstoppable, immensely powerful and everything that stood in his path was basically blown away! No exaggeration haha!
the only player in my life of supporter, that no one try to fight with...and the only one who didn't give punch or other illegal play for hurt...fortunately lol
Their dad is a former boxing champ' back there in Samoa, and has been sparing partner of George Foreman or someone like that for a bit. Good DNA in here...
Lomu ran 100m in 10.8 seconds. Alesana did it in 10.7, Manu in 11.4, and Henry in 12. None of the Tuilagis are 'way' slower than Lomu, and by the way, force = mass x acceleration. mass x velocity is momentum.
Manu Tuilagi was only 21 when he threw De Villiers. He's only 22 now. At 18, he was cutting up (an admittedly second string) springbok team. Besides, these days, there are organised defences, very solid tackling, and much bigger players. Lomu would of course still be a phenomenon, but not more so than a guy like George North or a Tuilagi brother.
Yes some of his stuff were I guess dirty, but its basically showing u wat he is capable of, dis isnt a highlight then moreso a tribute, der, by da way I had to get use to dis tuilagi player, just heard of him, cuz I only knew bout alesana n little of manu of dere rugby, but henry is da scary one, but I really like his exterior as if he is gonna savagely chase u, cool video. :P
does anybody think henry reminds u of beauty and the beast? lol idk... also it could be the samoan fob in me..but i actually find Henry tuilagi sexy..mostly its Alesana Tuilagi but yea..as crazy as that sounds. :P
All this footage is of him on his way out, he’s in his 30s here. It’s unfortunate that there isn’t any footage of him in his 20s. Just imagine the same thing but as a young man and aggressive. His son in now playing for France so that is a little glimpse
Yeah, if he was here now, he would be another big, powerful winger, but Henry wouldn't have much of a problem bringing him down. Neither would Andy, Manu or Alesana Tuilagi, all of whom are over 110kg.
Henry Tuilagi is arguably the strongest rugby player of them all - Sheridan has that reputation, and it's fair - he benches 250kg. But they gave that weight to Tuilagi... he repped it. That's outrageous strength, no wonder he managed to throw Joe Van Niekerk like that... But vs Lomu? I'm pretty sure they would both run straight over the other.
fair comment, but as players they are totally different. Tuilagi is a forward and so looking for contact is inherent in the way he plays, combined with that is that generally he is running lines off the 10, 9 etc as an 8 and so his purpose is to suck defenders in closer to the prior contact and so release the quicker and more agile players outside when they throw it wide and there are fewer defenders. Lomu (did this as well) but more often than not was running to score.... read how u want
You know you’re the man when you’re making the South African best and biggest forwards look like children.
This guy came at the restaurant I was working at a few years back.
Very humble, chill, polite.
He looks even bigger when he's in front of you so i'd shit my pants on a rugby field.
You've been so lucky in meet him 🤙🤙🤙
@@pierlorenzofinotto1550 He spoke a good French too, it was when he was playing for perpignan
I bet he got hella food
he may eat like a tiger
Epitome of machismo
This guy is probably the reason why people who dont play rugby, dont play fkn rugby lol love it!
True blood 🤣🤣
An absolute beast!
The Strongest of the Brothers 👊🏼
hes the hardest out of the tuilagi brothers
Nostalogic98 you mean Manu?
@@gopr3117 no he meant Andy.. Watch his online tribute.. His name is Anitelea Tuilagi
Alesana is the real king
Gopr311 Henry bumps off everyone, forwards and backs Including Schalk Burger, Danie Russow who are fearsome tacklers. And a few unlucky opensides/blindsides from the scrum. Manu’s body count doesn’t stack up
I’m on the fence between him and alesana but I think Henry might be a bit stronger alesana with his pace makes up for that small difference
this guy is down right dangerous to play against....I'm srs. It's amazing to behold such physical strength in a human being, but he's just in a different category...He could dislocate a guy's shoulder during a game on a big tackle...one of those smaller 80kg guys, for sure no question...
I like how when he scores a try everyones too scared to jump on him and celebrate.
Lol
By far the MOST DOMINANT FOrward to ever play the game. . in my opinion

I genuinely believe that Henry would have considered one of Leicester's all time greats had he not broken his leg when he did.

I saw him today in a sport store in Perpignan, he looked down when I met him.... Just kidding he's one of the beefiest guy I have ever met.

2:53 is the hardest hit i have ever seen. that dude head bounces off the grass lol
2:14 more awesome - back row forward sent aerial!
Also late and dangerous.
+Cody Cox he got a red card for that tackle
Im dying to see Manu play for Samoa
safe to say the biggest rugby player ive ever seen. what a mountain
met this guy in the clubs back in the islands far his a polite humble person
there are so many of the tuilagi brothers

That was just crazy. Wouldn't want to defend that. Freight train.
You just made my day, thank you! XD
nice mate good to see a tribute to henry for once
He’s a one man rugby team what a hulk
Tuilagi Family run Samoa! Choo-Hoo Henry's My Favourite one! Beast!!
Watch this weekly before games. Animal!
He's real life Akuma
Facts I saw him in real life.
Fkn unit!!!
It would also be great to have him as a defender on the Miami Dolphins to just saying
by far the most intimadating player, too bad hes old now, i wish i saw him play when i got into rugby.
The goat of rugby
His advantage has always been his High is just as thick as his Low 🤙🏻 🇼🇸
He's teammates are even scared of him 😂😂
What a beast !
@SamoanKid02 I think it was Andy who got in a fight with Brian Lima.
nice video bro.. he is still playing...?? i didn't see him in the Manu Samoa's line up against the Wallabies this year (2011)
the contact omg what a man wonderful
it took 3 brothers to get name out there.. it only took LOMU to put himself on the map and made it LEGEND.. Go right a head with all the weight comparisons of players they rund over.. LOMU will always be the favorite one.

Would have loved to see him and Chabal on the same field
you can find it, they play against each other when Henri was in Perpignan. The match was Perpignan-Paris (USAP-RACING) 2010

rumour is that the maker of the Easter Island statues was actually making a Tuilagi family portret :)
do you think by chance he will be able to pass on some size to all the small people around the world? i no i would appreciate it.
When you see this guy on the field than you know it´s morgue time
