Ireland number eight CJ Stander was left wondering who had allowed a runaway bull into Twickenham on Sunday, only to return from a world of pain to realise it was England centre Manu Tuilagi who had thumped him to the ground.
The recently back from injury Tuilagi was in his usual ferocious form, epitomising his desire with a trademark monstrous tackle on the Irish back-rower.
Well known for his ability to put formidable pressure on the opposition, Tuilagi’s execution was timed to perfection as he made contact just as Stander collected the high ball.
