England’s Manu Tuilagi exorcised of injury curse after visiting witch doctor

Manu Tuilagi believes he has been exorcised of an injury curse caused by three evil ghouls after visiting a witch doctor in Samoa.

Tuilagi visited the nation of his birth last week upon the advice of his mum who suggested seeing the spiritual healer after serious groin, hamstring and knee injuries haunted the last three years of his career for England and Leicester.

From Monday to Thursday he made the hour-long boat ride from Samoa’s mainland to the island of Upolu where the potentially deadly female spirits were banished by balming him with Fijian oil.
