20-year-old Taniela Tupou, better known as the Tongan Thor, debuted for the Queensland Reds last night in their 24-43 loss to the ACT Brumbies.

The 135kg first-gamer showed some really exciting stuff with his ability to break lines and his impressive agility for a big body wowing the crowd.

He finished off his debut by scoring his first try, and is someone we’ll be expecting to see a lot more of in coming years for the Reds.
