The Tongan Thor is set to thunder into Super Rugby for the Queensland Reds on Friday night. As if that wasn't enough, video footage shows Tupou also has a mesmerising sidestep and the ability to pick a pass. New Zealand Rugby Union were keen to get him involved in their junior teams on the way to becoming an All Black, but Tupou instead expressed a desire to eventually play for the Wallabies. The powerful teenager pummelled players from Kelston Boys High School but also showed an impressive turn of pace. And he's continued to terrorise defences, bouncing off tacklers and storming through the gain line seemingly at will.
