The 18-year-old Posolo Tuilagi, Henry’s son and Manu’s nephew, showed incredible strength to score for France against New Zealand in the World U20 Championship.
Playing at No 5 lock, the hulking Polosi attacked the defensive line from a well-taken lineout, barging through several tacklers and over the whitewash in Paarl on Thursday.
The 1.93m, 149kg youngster originally played No 8 like his father, but has switched to the second row playing with French Top 14 outfit Perpignan.
