Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te whakaora o Manu Tuilagi mai i te whara o te kopu e mau tonu ana, he mea tawhiti tonu, a, kei te whakataetae te pokapū whutupaoro ki te pai ki te purei i tetahi atu whutupaoro i tenei waa. Kāore te kaitākaro 23 tau i tākaro mai i tōna tukinga mai i te whakataetae Champions Cup a Leicester ki a Ulster i te Oketopa o te tau kua hipa. Ko te matapae tuatahi, ka noho ia ki te taha mo te ono ki te waru wiki, engari kaore i roa ka kitea he whakaaro pai tera. He raupapa o ngā rā whāinga mō tana hokinga mai kua tae mai, kua haere, ā, ināianei, ka puta mai ko Tuilagi e kore e puta mai ki te mata tae noa ki te marama whakamutunga o te tau <unk> mēnā ka puta. Kāore anō a Manu Tuilagi kia whai wāhi mai mai i te wā i whara ai tōna kōhao i a ia e tākaro ana mō Leicester i te Oketopa. Kei te whakataetae te pokapū o Ingarangi ki te wā kia pai ai mō te Ipu o te Ao, ka tīmata i te marama o Hepetema. E mōhio ana a Sportsmail kei te whāia e ia kia tākaro e whā, e rima rānei ngā kēmu mō ngā Tigers i te mutunga o Aperira me Mei, engari mā te wā anake e whakaatu mēnā ka taea te whakatutuki i taua wawata. Kua noho a Ingarangi ki te noho kore i a raatau kaitakawaenga mo te pakanga RBS 6 Nations katoa, engari i te mea kua noho a Tuilagi ki te puni hei tirotiro i tana whakaoranga, kei te mohio te whakahaere kaore ia i te tata ki te tukinga. Ko te panui whakamutunga i tohu i tetahi atu ngoikoretanga i roto i te whakaoranga whakamataku. "Kei te pai tana mahi, kei te rere tika ia, engari kei te haere tonu ia", te kii a te kaiako matua a Stuart Lancaster i mua i tetahi atu huihuinga o te Calcutta Cup kaore e whakaatuhia e Tuilagi. Ki taku whakaaro ka pai ia i te mutunga o te tau. He pono kua pai te mahi a Phil Pask (physio) ki a ia, engari ehara i te mea kei te heke mai nei. I te mutunga o te tau ka hoki ia ki te tākaro. <unk>Kei te whakarite kia kaha tonu te kaha o tana kōhao me te whakaora i a ia e karapoti ana i te kaha e tukuna ana e ia. He tangata kaha ia, ā, me whakarite e ia kua tino ora te kōhao. He tukanga taahiraa-i-taahiraa hei whakarite kia kaua ia e whara ano, no reira he tino tupato te iwi.<unk> Kei te hiahia a Leicester me Ingarangi ki te hanga i to raatau kēmu whakaeke i runga i a Tuilagi...
Kāore a Manu Tuilagi i tākaro mai i te Oketopa i muri i tana whara i te kōhao mō Leicester. Kua ngaro te pokapū o Ingarangi i ngā rā whāinga maha mō te whakahoki mai. Kāore pea a Tuilagi e puta anō ki te ao tae noa ki te marama whakamutunga o te tau. Kua whakapumautia e Stuart Lancaster kāore a Tuilagi i te tata ki te hokinga mai. Kua ārai a Tuilagi i ngā whara i ngā tau e rua kua hipa.
