That was a fantastic piece (from 21:15 for just over 10 minutes) ... well worth a listen when it's put up on the iPlayer later!

Hardly a "little piece". National radio, superb item.
And there are mini-Ts on the way as well!

[Daveyboy]

Excellent!

Thanks.

That was really good.

didn't realise that Freddie had a couple of boys in the Leicester set up. Anyone know how old they are and if they are any good?

[taffyboiy]

Great clip, well done the radio on covering an interesting story.

Henry has 5 boys! Can we get him back to Leicester?

"Sometimes we didn't have a ball and just used a stick, holding it in one hand"

Explains alot!

I think the bravest of the lot must be that cross dressing fella.

Can you imagine coming down to breakfast one morning, and saying to 6 monsters around the table ........"Do you like my frock lads?"

In Samoa, it's quite acceptable for a person to decide this is how they wish to live their life, it's considered a "third gender"

I don't think it would make the slightest difference to the others.

Great interview

[Tigerbob]

Excellent interview, and the first time I think I've heard Alex speak.

It would be a massive shame if Henry's boys were to play for Perpignan.

Couldn't we offer Henry a good incentive to come back to Welford Road (free meat supplies!? ), and thus inherit the rest of the Tuilagi clan!

Also, Henry seems to be no slouch himself!

[adamv6]

free meat supplies!?

You are having a laugh? I reckon he could eat half a cow a day!

[GS]

It never ceases to amaze me how soft and gentle they sound, although I don't think Ryan Lamb can/wants to remember much about his meetings with Alex. Also surprised that Freddie thinks Andy is the most talented. Totally agree about Henry's lads though, shame if Perpignon get first dibs on them.

[Purebob]

An amazing story. Such power and skill running down a single line of brothers.

Also a great lesson to young 'uns. None of the Tulagis are loud mouths, all are respectful, all are genuinely accepting of Olotuli and are clearly devoted to each other.

How every unlike the current norm for professional sportsmen.

A statue of Mrs Tuilagi is needed outside WR I think.
