Watch: Manu Tuilai FLATTENS George Ford to score against his former side

Manu Tuilagi scored on his return to Welford Road as Sale Sharks claimed a 31-40 victory over the Leicester Tigers.

Tuilagi left the Tigers after declining to sign a revised contract that would have seen his pay cut by 25% and signed for Sale Sharks.

The England centre enjoyed a fine outing against his former employers and even crashed over his fellow international George Ford on his way to scoring an excellent try assisted by Faf de Klerk.

The try was also Tuilagi's first of the season.
