TFTM 2014 - 6 : Sailosi Tagicakibau


By Big-Al
September 2 2014

In the final episode of Thanks for the Memories for 2014 we say farewell to a fantastic servant and firm favourite of the Irish support (especially the ladies, for some reason...) - Sailosi Tagicakibau. Winger, force-of-nature and all-round nice chap, there really is only one Sailosi Tagicakibau!

Sailosi moves on after 9 seasons with London Irish, in which time he made 158 appearances, scoring 58 tries. Sailosi also has 21 caps for Samoa and has represented the Pacific Islands on 3 occasions.
Blessed with both power and pace, Sailosi has been one of our most exciting players to watch over the years. With a strike rate of better than a try in every three matches, he is feared by defences across the premiership and beyond.
Thanks Losi and good luck at Wasps.

In his prime when he first played for the club he was the best winger by far in the Premiership.

Extremely dangerous and an ability to slip out of tackles which meant that it took two or three men to stop him.

Not quite the same player in the last 2 seasons. Lost 1/2 metre of pace and didn't attract / need more than one player to stop him.

Truly a class-act though.
