Respect to the first guy trying to stop him with his face
😂😂
Bet his eyes were shut
Well it worked
First I read your comment, then I watched the video, then I laughed my arse off!🤣
Vinaka! 🏝️🇫🇯💪🏿
😭😭💀
His height is in feet and inches but his weight/mass is in kilograms, the confusion this causes allows him to run around the opposition.
No shit sherlock
You better know the NRL will have him soon. Rugby league is made for him, sort of reminds me of Jason Taumalolo, That's a $$$million dollar boy right there, wish all the best for this kid.
Straight to the dolphins
Low grade union isn't the best way to judge someone's abilities in high grade rugby league .. I Mean yeh he's big and has potential but JT has endurance, outstanding technique and knowledge/experience in the game. More suited to the NFL like that Jordan bloke who is very similar story wise.
Big Nelson at the storm was recruited by the storm from high school rugby union in nz . Pretty sure he was playing lock at the time .
@@straight2thepoiint377 many school union stars have found success in NRL, Vunivalu, RTS, nelson asofa solomona, solomone kata, hurrell, joesph sualii, ponga, angus crighton,penisini
Too big for NRL. He'll make more money in rugby, especially in France
Love the Christian cross on the jersey
That wrap around off the tap was dope
All Blacks should use that move I reckon!
@@stephenbaxter5804 Yeah they need it
There is a lot of obstruction in that move and would get pulled up at a higher level
It’s hard at this age some these dudes are huge, as they develop people will catch up and just being big wont be enough!
Agreed. That hype over big players is dumb at this level
They said that about Tongan Thor
Props to Tupuailei.
Great talent from the big man, keep it up
Dude was a number 8. He’s playing out of position . Seen him scrum a few times and he wasn’t that impressive. Props are built differently nowadays. Get him to loose a bit of weight and keep him at the back of the scrum. He’s fast for a big man and can find a way to get he’s arms free at the contact
He is a number 8 Normaly
He has the built of a no8
He will be playing for the Melbourne storm in no time.
Exactly bro.
Number 12 cmon
The sort of tries you see in schoolboys rugby when someone has a massive size advantage. The gap usually closes in professional rugby. League will love him though.
He goes to my school omg
When you're that size at that age, no surprise he's gonna cause damage close to the line. No brainer
That's what they do. Looking for bigger kids not more talented
Reminds me of the tongan thor
This kid is a unit
This guy would dominate if he played league
He was a number 8 last time i seen him on rugbypass. Hopefully he sticks to union. Who knows what position hell play in the future..
he will stay number 8
come to the warriors uce 🤣 IM JOKING
Storm will pick him up 😂
Storm will sign him i reckon
You better know the NRL will have him soon. Rugby league is made for him, sort of reminds me of Jason Taumalolo, That's a $$$million dollar boy right there, wish all the best for this kid.
NRL will come calling, but NFL would be awsome future for this young lad.
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
New All Blacks number 12
NRL going to snap up this kid 👌🏾
Some interesting tours coming up with Junior teams from New Zealand and South Africa going to playing each other
Generates a lot of acceleration in a short space, which is rare for a prop, but it's obvious he's a loosie. Until you can see him performing the core roles of a prop in the tight, there isn't much to base an assessment on. There are tons of factors that go into whether someone is a good scrummager and weight and dimensions are only 2 of those. A lot can be trained, but a lot is also innate to your build.
NRL contract coming his way for sure.
Unit!!
NRL be licking their lips
Scott Robertson, get the Crusaders Board to sign this guy up now!
"Or is that the New Zealand Rugby Unions job to sign him up?"
Not weetbix..it's plenty corn beef with faalifo Kalo💪💪💪😉😁
this kid can make it to nfl
He will get signed by the melbourne storm or nz warriors i reckon
That juice is working
This guy reminds of an NFL fullback. No lie.
This the new All Blacks number 12 !
Can't wait to see Faimalie Tagoai 😉
Awesome courage on that second tackle. Technique could use improvement.
What’s the bet he’ll end up in the NRL. Just from this little snippet I can see him being a mean 8, 10 or even 13 in league
Nx,,allblack....
Watch diz space!!!!!
😁😁😁😁🍺🍺🍺🍺🐺
NZ NEED TO HOLD ONTO HIM ....
Thats tupos lil cousin 😂😂
I like this guy but not sure if prop is the right position for him.
I reckon number 8, his too tall for prop
I scored 17 try’s at school. 5’11 . Littlest prop ever. Where were the scout finders then ha
Lads off to the Warriors, they are missing some props
This bloke reminds me of Frank Pele
Nah send him to the NRL.. better money
What nationality is this guy
will make no metres if he came auckland 😂
Seems more of an 8 then a prop
Another one that’s heading to Aussie hahahaha
God bless you all , Jesus loves you all only he can save u repent and turn from your sins and accept Jesus as Lord and saviour and will be saved. He is the only way to eternal life in heaven once you pass away its too late . ❤✝️🙌
...
Needs to do Carnivore, carbs will wreck his health.
Now he’s playing for fucking Hornby 😂😂
Was waiting for someone to say that. Different story playing against the men
For his size he’s not a real beast he is 40 kilograms heavier than most of the opposition.
RIP tighthead
Time will tell, but a chap that out weighs his opponents significantly is going to dominate, but if he plays rugby after school he will get munched
No good if he can’t scrum
He'll get picked up by a, Super squad and played at half back, and picked by Fozzy at 14.
It's cause he put the lord first and went to FSY🙏
Is He Samoan?....
Ken laben is a fool
Aussies will throw a sweet deal on the table n he'll be gone
He looks more like a number 8 tbh. That kind of running. Wasting his energy being a prop.
That second tackle on tupuailei was the worst form tackle i've seen in a long time, the bro in blue could have been seriously hurt with a giant knee to the temple. He literally went head first 😬
What’s 6.2 ft doing in the props? 🤣 defiantly a flanker or number 8
he is number 8
A 128kg man running at people can cause serious damage, given the growing problem of early onset dementia in rugby caused by collisions, surely rugby should be seeking to mitigate against players becoming pummeled instead of lauding man mountains for players
The smallest guy always WINS! Just asked George Gregan on Jonah 😆
shut up we all know the risks before playing everybody knows this. go play golf.
especially with such a stupid first tackle - you could see the tackler struggling to get up afterwards
@@matthewhodes1908 Thought of CTE instantly when I saw that. Even though that wasn't a sub-concussive hit, that poor dudes brain took serious permanent damage there.
@@nejatcaliskan8878 This
Bring him to the u.s. for football. Millionaire in5 years. Defensive end
Nah guys like Ronaldo are good at football. He has a rugby build.
@@morris9337 he meant american gridiron, anyway there is a lot of competition for spots on NFL rosters so its not a given hes goign to become a millionaire.
sole this guy is no Messi 😂😂
@@MusMasi I know I was taking the piss.
rugby union better hope the roosters dont see this
He’s only dominant in this school level come the big stage? Just another taniela tupou
Try your luck with American Football where the real money is
Should not be playing with all those small kids. What a farce.
He's only 17 lol kid can't help but be bigger than the rest. That ain't against the law
It's like transgenders in women sport
not as good as jonah
Well he's 29, now. Had a few problems with reading and arithmetic but he should be leaving this year.
What a waste of talent. Someone his size and athleticism would excel playing offensive or defensive line in football. He wouldn't have to worry about wasting energy on endurance like in rugby. In football he would only have to focus on his core skills such as explosion, power, strength and speed.
oh true
when?
Yeah but he probably enjoys actually handling the ball.But sure if he wanted to be an nfl wrestler
@@lockk132 lol he looked like he was out of breath after 1 run. That isn't optimal for pure athletes. In football he'd get to rest after each play and dominate in the sport
@@slau330 def ...but if he wants to be in a sport where he can express himself, passing,offloads,,damaging runs, smashing tackles etc etc then Nfl aint the game, drop down to 115 to 120 kg and stick with union or league
