Richard Cockerill believes that Manu Tuilagi had one of his best ever games for Leicester Tigers yesterday.

Richard Cockerill has said that Manu Tuilagi had one of the best games of his career for Leicester Tigers yesterday.

The 21-year-old scored two tries during the 36-8 win over Northampton Saints at Franklin's Gardens.

The Leicester coach told Sky Sports News: "It helps when you are on the front foot, which we were for most of the game, but I thought that was probably the best Manu has played for us.

"Saints defend very tight and slide and if they don't get it right you can expose them. I thought we did it very well. Anthony Allen was outstanding and Manu played very well for us [on Saturday].

"Across the board everybody's performance was good. I think that second half performance was outstanding. Our attitude was good, we wanted to come here and play."

The win keeps Tigers second in the Aviva Premiership table.
