Henry Tuilagi Joins Manu Samoa

Written by Sports Correspondent
Friday, 04 July 2008
Henry Tuilagi has just arrived in Apia in time to be included in the last game of the Manu Samoa for the Pacific Nations Cup against Japan on Saturday at the Apia Park. Henry Tuilagi joins his younger brother Anitelea Tuilagi in a strong team line up of the Manu Samoa so far this year. The latest line up is as follows: 1 Loosehead prop Heroshi Tea Vaimoso 2 Hooker Loleni Tafunai Vaiala 3 Tighthead prop Census Johnston Sinamoga 4 Lock Filipo Lavea Levi (captain) Faleasiu 5 Lock Kane Thompsen Apia 6 Blindside flanker George Stowers (vc) Sinamoga 7 Openside flanker Semo Sititi Alafua 8 Number eight Henry Tuilagi Fatausi,Savaii 9 Halfback Uale Mai Palauli 10 First five Eliota Sapolu Fuimaono Vaiala 11 Winger David Lemi (vc) Vaiafai, Savaii 12 Second five Anitelea Tuilagi Fatausi, Savaii 13 Center Henry Faafili Moataa 14 Winger Esera Lauina Vaivase 15 Fullback Gavin Williams Vaiala *Reserves* 16 Prop Simon Siuola Lemalu Lefaga 17 Prop James Johnston Sinamoga 18 Lock Daniel Leo Faleapuna 19 Flanker Jonathan Faamatuainu Lufilufi 20 Halfback Notise Tauafao Malie 21 First five Roger Warren Sinamoga 22 Outside back Paletuatoa Toelupe Malie Coach Niko Palamo A/Coach Stan Toomalatai A/Coach Selefuti Patu Physio Megan Lupe Doctor Dr Dyxon Hansell Manager Ryan Schuster Comments (6) Subscribe to this comment's feed Best 22 This Year written by J.J Auomanu Pale, July 04, 2008 Well best team out of the rest of the games played this tournament lol Right choice for the front row.. good to see Census back, good pick for loosehead Heroshi Tea too, i think he's a pretty good front rower. Good to see Filipo Levi back too but... Most of all im really glad Henry is back!.. i think they made the right choice putting previous no.8 stowers (mycousinlol) on the flank too as hes been going fine in the last few games. Well apart from that, i do want Seilala Mapusua & my favourite of the tuilagis: alesana 2 play in the allblacks test. We need all we can get other wise it could be a cricket score by the 80 mark lol. Its funny to see our best prop census and our skipper filipo back cuz it makes me think maybe samoa rested them and thought they could beat tonga without two key forwards of theirs_ that probably aint true lol Anyways, Go the Manu! J-J Auomanu Pale from Brisbane, Australia. all the best written by Samoa fan, July 04, 2008 malo uso its so good to see Henry Arnold back in the team...theres no doubt he bring a very good motivation to the others...manuia uso le taaloga ma ia faamalosi ma ia kau makua kau.... Ironic really written by Sam Afa, July 04, 2008 Bit of irony there that we play our two easiest games at the end of the tournament and we look to field our strongest team. Having Japan and Tonga at the start really would have changed the outcome of this tournament for us. It would have meant that we would have broken in a new coach as well as working out the different combinations before we play NZ, Aust and Fiji. That would have been a much better scenario. Next Samoan Coach written by Ron, July 04, 2008 A very good lineup indeed and just like the others it is fantastic to see Henry Tuilagi in the team. Looks like Samoa's strongest team with the exclusion of Mapusua, Alesana Tuilagi, Mahonri Schwalger and Justin Va'a. Good luck to the boys in blue tomorrow. Japan will be no easy beats and will provide strong competition for the Manu. P.S Thought Stowers showed his inexperience last week when he kicked the ball out at fulltime instead of opting to go for the penalty kick. That would of been 3 points and denied Tonga of a bonus point. If Tonga beats Fiji with a bonus point today and we lose to Japan then Samoa will come last on the table. That penalty could come back to haunt the men in blue. Let's hope not!! Need to think smart as well as play hard. Go the Manu!! Congradulations also to former Manu Samoa captain Pat Lam being appointed coach of the Auckland Blues next season. We have already had 3 All Black Samoan captains (Tana Umaga, Jerry Collins, Rodeney So'oialo), not too long before we see the first Samoan to coach the All Blacks...... Nice written by Robbie Deans, July 04, 2008 Looking forward to this match. This is probably the strongest team available, bar a few contracted players. Good Luck Boys faiai ma le akigipoo written by ka, July 09, 2008 I think If we pick the players base on their talents,creativeness and fitness .We'll be much better.It's sad to see our big and strong boys especially the tongan man.look good and buff but sela on the field.Cuz once you sela man..kofa good bye..me no kea.you on your own bro.Rugby is all about quickness and running.If we could do that just for 80mins. Man why not join in the Tri Nation..For sure.. Write comment Name Email Title Comment
