One of the best up coming props in the world by far! I would love to see him and genge face off
I think as a sub tupou has him but for the full 80, genge has the fitness that tupou doesn't. Still what a battle it would be.
sure is watching him develop over the years can honestly say he'll definitely be one of the best props coming up in the game
@@thomaspetiau2861 Tupou plays 70 minutes most games in super rugby au don't sleep on the mans fittness
@@clutchxgene8477 yeh but super rugby au is a completely different fitness standard to test level.
@@newspaper9949 There are not many props that play that much even if it is Super Rugby, and obviously he doesn't need to play that much in international level
I watched him 5 years ago in school boy rugby..too good then.
2.41 : red card. For me it's a very dangerous tackle. Can we call this a tackle ? Every week, players are injured because of this ! For the rest of the video, he is amazing
There’s always that one person that tries to find one little thing about a tongan to complain about
@@jsleezy676 wtf are you talking about? At no point did he mention ethnicity. He was referring to dirty rugby players in general.
Put your victim card/race card back in your wallet.
Shame he doesn’t still play for Tonga, imagine how good the Pacific island nations could be if they didn’t loose all their talent to money abroad
Have you seen the documentary Oceans Apart: Greed, Betrayal & Pacific Rugby? It's quite eye opening just how bad it is for the pacific islanders. A combination of the old boys club with the tier 1 nations screwing them over and then corruption at home.
@@ragerancher I will give it a watch that sounds interesting. I definitely agree that the tier 1 nations fuck them over so badly, it’s unfair.
@@SuperMatthewdee It is money. There's no money in Tonga. How do you change that?
@@gvibration1 Tier 1 nations that do have money should tour the Pacific islands every few years which will pump money into their unions. But there isn’t really a quick fix, looks like the divide will only get bigger
He wanted to play for the wallabies. His brother lived in australia.
2:20 Was that Messam taking on the Tongan Thor and won?! What a unit Liam Messam!
Mate messam was blow back about 5 meters. Would hardly say he won
@@oliverlyons2221 Messam was pushed back but ready for another whilst „the Tongan Thor“ was pushed back losing control, and stepped out. Messam won.
He would of been layed flat on his ass if it wasn't for his team mate being behind him.
@@bethannmajella watch the clip one more time and get back to me. This time in slow mo.
@@ShutterKnack Shoulder charge? Clearly he would of fell straight over if it wasn't for his team mate.
I’m so proud he came sacred heart college
Please do a Hunter Paisami Video
Minor racism going on in the comment section. Just because you're not born in Australia doesn't make you not-Australian.. His dream was to play for the Wallabies. His brother lived in Australia. He became Australian so he could live his dream. True success story. Amazing man.
he became australian cause nz wouldn't have him. no racism here.
@@cococharliematenga4829 "Tupou was given a deadline to sign a loyalty agreement to be eligible for the New Zealand Schoolboys team. However, he declined the offer."
The future 😍
Is green and gold Tongan colours?
Nah it’s Aussie colours. His dream was to play for the Wallabies
@@yourummayscuz8521 he originally said he wanted to play for the All Blacks but when he was blocked from representing a NZ team when he was at school in NZ he changed his mind to wanting to represent the Wallabies if NZ didnt pick him.
Should try his hand as a NFL running back. As a starter would easily pull down 10 million a year, if not more.
Aussie Aussie Aussie
6 stood strong there tho
Yea but he went in with the shoulder,its hard to bounce someone that is giving shoulder
Wait... this Tongan Kiwi is playing for Australia?
If I am not wrong he is short guy right but it seems like every guy over there is short
2.20 that’s a lowlight lmfao
Tupou hit a full grown man so hard he literally FLEW 3 metres through the air until he was stopped by his teammate behind. That's a highlight.
Umm does he want to come play league plz heard there making a new club soon
Tongan Thor playing for Wallabies 🤔 It's Ironic isn't it.
It's always been his dream to play for the Wallabies.
Not very, considering globalisation. Hence why African American isn't ironic.
@@ttfuntt well said
stupid nickname. Tonga has it's own legends.
GO NFL PLZ, 5 million just to run!
#10min prop. He can't play 40mins even when split in two. Throw that highlight real but it isn't getting the guy into a championship team.
Ever heard of a impact player?
he currently plays for Australia
Typical south sea islander ‘tackling ‘. Let’s see him against some big men.
