He undoubtedly saved the French XV from defeat last Saturday at Murrayfield, by placing his big hand under the final Scottish test ball.
“I had my hand under it,” assured Posolo Tuilagi after the sluggish French victory (20-16) in Edinburgh, in the Six Nations Tournament.
The second selection of the 19-year-old colossus (1.92 m, 149 kg) has already been remembered.
But the young and shy second row took it very calmly.
And he was training this Monday in Perpignan (Pyrénées-Orientales), with his USAP club.
At his age, having a series of meetings does not scare him.
On the contrary, he asks for more.
The next one will be this Saturday, February 17 (5 p.m.) at the Jean-Bouin stadium, against Stade Français, leader of the Top 14. Before staying with the French XV to prepare for the match against Italy (Sunday 25 February at 4 p.m. in Lille).
A new journey to Paris for Tuilagi, who has already traveled back and forth from Perpignan to Marcoussis in January, sometimes to share a single training session with the Blues.
