PIC: There was a Tuilagi family reunion last weekend – My lord there’s a lot of them!

This is a big family – literally and figuratively.

There are seven Tuilagi brothers, which isn’t THAT unusual on its own.

But the fact that six of them have played for Leicester Tigers? That is a bit more noteworthy.

Freddie, Henry, Alesana, Anitelea, Vavae and Manu have all either played professional rugby, or are at the moment.

They all reunited in Samoa last week with their parents for the All Blacks visit, and the Samoa Observer got this great picture of all the Tuilagis together.

According to the piece, Freddie now manages the brothers, Henry just retired, Alesana and Anitelea play for Newcastle, Vavae plays for Carcassonne and Manu is still with Leicester.

It would be interesting to see who would actually win a Tuilagi battle royale. If everyone was at their peak… it is still too tough to decide.

It’s no wonder that Manu developed into a beast at such a young age when he grew up being powerbombed by so many monstrous older brothers.

There is one other Tuilagi sibling who isn’t a pro rugby player – according to the Daily Mail, he goes by Julie and likes to cross-dress.
