Prop Taniela Tupou is still just 20 years old, but his rise to fame has been so fast that he is practically a household name already. Well, 'Tongan Thor' is anyway. Here is another look at this rising talent in action, with a rundown of his best bits since he first came to prominence.

Plus, did we mention his fends?
