Sackey ready to take down Tuilagi

18 January 2007
Tuilagi spearheaded Leicester's 44-16 rout of Gloucester last Saturday with a destructive display of running that helped the Tigers complete the second leg of an unprecedented treble.
"I'm going to stop Tuilagi by tackling him. Rugby is a simple game - you make your tackles and you do your job," said Sackey.
"This week I've done extra tackling practice on the bigger guys so that I'm ready for Tuilagi.
"I've been tackling some of our big forwards, although I know Tuilagi is a lot different to those guys because he's quick as well as massive.
"You can try and get someone to imitate him but ultimately they won't be Tuilagi.
"My only objective is to get him on the floor. That's all you can do. Technique doesn't really come into it.
"You just have to do what you can, whether that means jumping on his back or taking his legs out - as long as he's on the floor."
