Tuisova made a devastating display in 2018 when he and Malakai Fekitoa helped the famous invitation side to a record 63-45 win as well as providing try assist for Chris Ashton.

He made 214 metres, seven clean breaks, beat eight defenders and offloaded four times.

The Barbarians will take on England on June 3rd at Twickenham Stadium.
