Tuilagi’s 18-month-old little girl Leilani Lea’auta 地位，任命するd an 奮起させるing Instagram message with the help of her mum?

She may not know too much about World Cup rugby just yet. But the toddler daughter of England 星／主役にする Manu Tuilagi sure knows how to 解雇する／砲火／射撃 up her daddy for perhaps the greatest game of his life.

Before his 味方する 直面するd the fabled All 黒人／ボイコットs for a place in the final yesterday, Tuilagi’s 18-month-old little girl Leilani Lea’auta 地位，任命するd an 奮起させるing Instagram message ? with some help from her mum.

‘Go Daddy’ Leilani told Manu in one picture. And: ‘So proud Daddy’.

The result, as all the world now knows, was a 業績／成果 that catapulted Tuilagi to legend status の中で fans.

の直前に the two teams took the field yesterday, England’s coach 宣言するd with a sly grin that Tuilagi was in his best-ever form and ‘ready to 削減（する） loose’.

Since straight-talking Eddie Jones is not 普通は given to hyperbole, New Zealand should really have 注意するd his 警告.

But maybe they assumed Jones was engaging in mind games, trying to 安全な・保証する a psychological advantage. Or maybe, when just 98 seconds after kick-off, Tuilagi did indeed 削減（する） loose and 衝突，墜落 like a juggernaut over the line to 得点する／非難する／２０ the most important try of his career, the mighty All 黒人／ボイコットs 簡単に had no way of stopping him.

The birth of Leilani Lea’auta with fianc?e Chantelle Garrity (pictured) has seen Manu Tuilagi 円熟した into the man he is today

If it had been the 28-year-old Leicester centre’s 単独の 出資／貢献, he would still have been 称讃するd, his 指名する spoken with reverence in 妨げる／法廷，弁護士業s across England and on the Samoan island of his birth 10,000 miles away. Yet the 6ft, 17st player they call the 長，指導者 did so much more.

Jones 警告するd before the match: ‘I’ve never seen the 長，指導者 in better nick... I’ve never seen him 肉体的に better. I’ve never seen him mentally more attuned.’

And Tuilagi more than lived up to Jones’s extravagant 査定／評価. 同様に as England’s only try, he produced a 防御の masterclass, his 業績／成果 奮起させるing an epic victory.

It is one of Jones’s many せいにするs that he rarely loses 約束 with those blessed with divine talent, however much they 実験（する） him. And few have 実験（する）d him like Tuilagi.

Misdemeanours 含む jumping off a フェリー（で運ぶ） into Auckland harbour, punching a 競争相手 player, making a rabbit ears 調印する behind then 総理大臣 David Cameron’s 長，率いる, 強襲，強姦ing two 女性（の） police officers and a taxi driver and returning to the England hotel drunk during a pre-season training （軍の）野営地，陣営.

追加する to that an 傷害 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） that has beset his career for years and Tuilagi has 証明するd やめる a 頭痛 for coach Jones. But all that will be forgotten (perhaps it has already) if he turns in a 類似の 業績／成果 in the final in Yokohama on Saturday.

It is not just the coach England fans have to thank for 説得するing Tuilagi to sublime form. The birth of Leilani Lea’auta with fianc?e Chantelle Garrity has seen him 円熟した into the man he is today.

But derailed by one 傷害 too many, he might never have 再開するd his international career but for the 介入 of a witch doctor in his 母国 two years ago.

Tuilagi, from the small beach village of Fatausi-Fogapoa on the Samoan island of Savai’i, arrived in England when he was just 13 and made it his home, later choosing to play for England rather than his 母国. He is one of seven brothers, five of whom have played 実験（する） rugby for Samoa.

The eldest, Olotuli, is a ‘Fa’afafine’ or cross-dresser who has lived his life as a woman and goes by the 指名する Julie. ‘It’s just the way he is,’ Tuilagi once said.

‘He was born like that and he wants to dress up as a woman. It doesn’t 事柄. He’s our bro ther.’

In 2017 it was to his Samoan village that Manu returned when his mother, Aliitasi, 主張するd that he 捜し出す out the ‘Fofo Samoa’ ? or witch doctor ? to help ‘再構築する’ him に引き続いて 執拗な 膝 傷害s. ‘My gift is to see spirits,’ the spirit healer told The Mail on Sunday. ‘This is what I have done since I was 14. I search for people’s Ma’i [sickness] and find out if it is 原因（となる）d by the spirits.’

Tuilagi spent four days in the Fofo Samoa’s company and was 扱う／治療するd with Fijian oils in order, the healer （人命などを）奪う，主張するd, to cast away three women who had ‘told me Manu belongs to them’. He 追加するd: ‘I massaged his 団体／死体 with oils made from coconut, frangipani, sandalwood, rose. I saw that three lady spirits were に引き続いて him and I cast them away and I told Manu he will play rugby again. Now he is 保護するd.’

明確に it worked, the healer 達成するing something that had seemed beyond modern 薬／医学. It had been a long and dark 過程. Some, himself 含むd, had 疑問d whether he would ever run out at Twickenham again. ‘At one point he was 負かす／撃墜する, very 負かす／撃墜する,’ said fellow Samoan Logovi’i Mulipola who 株d a bachelor pad with him in a Leicester 郊外. ‘I think the secret to his 回復 was 支援する in Samoa. The people around him and his family...’

Tuilagi adores his 可決する・採択するd 母国. However, his 違法な 移民，移住（する） status 脅すd to 難破させる his burgeoning career having entered the country on a holiday ビザ and over-staying by six years. The Home Office 手配中の，お尋ね者 to 国外追放する him but in 2009 he played for Leicester against South Africa in a テレビ放送するd match that would 証明する a 決定的な turning point.

Leicester （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 South Africa 22-17 and Tuilagi was one of the 星／主役にするs of the show. His solicitor managed to 安全な・保証する a 法廷，裁判所 order to 妨げる his 逮捕（する） and won the 権利 to 控訴，上告.

Then, fans started a 嘆願（書） on Facebook and in 2010, the UK 国境 機関 認めるd Tuilagi leave to remain. Which, England fans will agree, was just 同様に.

The 行う／開催する／段階 is now 始める，決める for the greatest match of his career ? and the chance to earn a place の中で the pantheon of England’s 冒険的な 広大な／多数の／重要なs. And no 疑問 little Leilani Lea’auta will be planning to 解雇する／砲火／射撃 up her daddy once again.
