England mid-fielder Manu Tuilagi says the win over Ireland in Dublin was "probably tougher" than beating the All Blacks in 2012.

Tuilagi put the All Blacks to the sword in that 38‑21 win at Twickenham, scoring a try and setting up others with barnstorming busts through the New Zealand defence.

Injuries and disciplinary issues had plagued him since the 2012 encounter, but he made his first Six Nations start since 2013 against Ireland yesterday.

England will play France at 3am next Monday in their second Six Nations match.
