This 18 year old could be the next big thing in New Zealand after a stunning display in Auckland at the weekend.
Taniela Tupou is a 135kg prop plays his rugby with Sacred Heart College in Auckland and he looks like a real prospect.
The Tongan, who's known locally as 'Thor', scored a devastating hat-trick in the opening twenty minutes of their recent game against Kelston Boys’ High School.
The speed and power of Topou would remind you of French centre Mathieu Bastareaud. The most frightening thing is that the boy wonder turned 18 on the day he scored those three tries. He looks unstoppable.

Any ideas on how to stop Thor, please let us know, we're thinking a tank or a large fishing net might just about halt him.
