At scholl atlethics he was a sight. 200m comin around the bend and completely overpowering the competition. Looked majestic and surreal. Real big strides

My first and still favourite ever Gloucester player🔴⚪️

played this guy in school... i thought they were illegally playing a full grown man he was fucken huge even for 17!! then i thought they were illegally playing animals in their team cause he just straight horse style ran over me and my team hooving and trampling us like nothing. He was the man especially when he was playing Footy Rugby League. He was a smaller Lomu props hard

Remember his first game for Bradford Bulls, away at castelford, pre season friendly i think. Even then he was scary. he had everything, size, power, speed, aggression,knew where the line was.

Freakin Beast of a player... ONE of the BEST!!!

Love how in some of these plays he does he says that it's unbelievable what he can do! It's not unbelievable it's just league players! They are so much better than the fat messes in union that can't catch or pass!

Shame that all this footage is after he switched codes to "kick and clap". A shadow of the monster that prowled the wing at the Bradford Bulls in his prime.

Look up some of his tries for the Bradford Bulls Rugby League, I remember one time he ran from the half way line with 4 men on his back to score in the corner.

Please return back to ENGLAND VAINIKOLO... Tuilagi + Vainikolo = BEAST!!

Glaws were a good team in that era. They helped make the most of Lesley's talents.

Best winger Bradford bulls ever had miss u les

The only guy whom i can say can compete with Alesana Tuilagi for speed and bosh power. Wow. Never knew these guys existed. Welcome to my click of superstars!

He's a unit!

this was twlight of his carrer he was still good enough to play for England Rugby Union

Awesome!

big ups lesley legend mangere style hawks baby southside

Sic vid mate, really well done. its getting parred off with only 100something views though

The man

at his best when he was with Canberra Raiders Australian Rugby League

@duncandohnut1993 lomu is somewhat a few years back. I am talking in terms of "same-time" these two guys ( Lesley and Alesana) are playing in todays rugby world. Lomu is abit faded.

players now would absolutely destroy vainikolo in contact and the most beast of a rugby player i've ever seen is Henry Tuilagi

@z0mgrugbyreturns i'm not sure about great - he never really shone in the NRL, and did nothing on the (admittedly low key) international scene. for me he was still at the top of his game when he quit Bradford - he scored 5 tries in his first game in Union. countless times he has stated he still loves League, still watches Bradford etc. I think he still had a lot to offer!

Vainkolo vs Tulilagi ..... BOOOOM

Song?

the name of the song ?

@brutushita1 what about Lomu? :P

i dont get why he isnt involved with england anymore he is way better than banahan and manu tuilagi, i just hope that the new england coach sees the quality in him

i guess this is da last we will see of the VOLCANOE exploding :(

Tongan horse power oua

He was even better when he was playing proper man's rugby at the Bulls, not this kick and clap crap

Hi my name is malia am from tonga and my fullname is Taigmausia vainikolo and that man over there is apart of my family

Thats my teachers brother

The premier league is the strongest football league in the world, that doesn't make England the best football team does it?

@z0mgrugbyreturns nah, in my opinion it's a shame he went for the money when he could have been a Rugby League great...

if the superleague is better than nrl, then why is that the new zealand and the australia teams absolutely shit on everybody else? therefore shouldnt the nrl be the best league in the world for having the better players?

you can see the raging bulls still inside him, please come back to Bradford Bulls for one last season

They won't own a young Lesley tho

LOL is that meant to be a joke

mau tuilagi or alesana tuilagi would own him, just saying :) Hes still tank tho
