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.
