“Absolute monster” – Manu Tuilagi’s 23st teenage sensation nephew could play for England

In the dynamic landscape of under-20s international rugby, Posolo Tuilagi, the highly talented nephew of England’s rugby sensation Manu Tuilagi, has been making a considerable impact.

However, the 150kg teenage prodigy’s aspirations to represent France’s senior team face a temporary setback, with French outlet L’Independent confirming that he currently lacks a French passport.

French regulations stipulate that all players must hold a French passport to participate, rendering the 19-year-old son of Henry Tuilagi ineligible due to his birthplace in Samoa.

While it’s inevitable that Posolo, the latest addition to the Tuilagi dynasty, will eventually grace the Test rugby arena, he must follow in the footsteps of Toulouse lock Emmanuel Meafoudid and undergo the process of obtaining French citizenship.

This potential partnership could see a formidable 300kg second-row duo that would undoubtedly make Fabien Galthie’s side a force to be reckoned with, leaving opposing packs apprehensive.

RUCK reports suggest that despite his current allegiance to France, there’s a chance Posolo Tuilagi could switch sides in the future and don the English jersey.

However, the plot thickens as playing for England would require him to sign with a Premiership club.

This additional requirement adds an intriguing layer to Posolo’s promising rugby journey, further shaping the narrative of his potential transition to the English national team.
