[@mikelliteras397]

Props to the guys that square up to him. That takes a steel set.

[@BigFatLarry]

A pair of titanium alloy ballz

[@BanneroftheSun]

I’d say tungsten

[@franriding6473]

What is shocking is how mobile and agile he is for his size

[@Angelo-yr1en]

5’10 (1.78m) weighing a 135kg of muscle and runs like any other rugby player damn these oceanic genes

[@franciscofortuin3682]

Those powerful legs that look like tree trunks are so difficult to lock onto when this guy is in motion. Tremendous speed for a prop, coupled with his brutal power is just awesome to watch

[@3101home]

NFL teams should look into this guy….fullback? Center? Middle linebacker? Nose guard?

[@CumBrianFries]

Dude is a real life juggernaut, better not let him build any sort of momentum!

[@dannysmith9217]

Magnificent BEAST 🤩 wonderful to watch such athleticism from a 5'9" tank of a man. Wouldn't want to piss him off either. (:

[@Angelo-yr1en]

Agreed but he’s actually 5’10 (1.78m)

[@hoffjdod3276]

It’s like you got someone that was 7 foot tall and just condensed them into a 5’9 body, guy is built like a brick

[@dirkdiggler8794]

Talk about "tree trunks, might be the most solid pair of legs in rugby history.

[@harryocallaghan8082]

Let's just admit it. This guy was born to play Rugby.

[@ericschroeder8932]

You have got to be kidding me... I can't get over his speed. The guy he destroyed at 2:01 must have been knocked unconscious. Crazy. What an athlete.

[@edwardstroud8245]

Another example of a Polynesian playing dirty with the shoulder barge tackles.

[@HighMaintenancePS]

Cut it out. Havnt you seen some of the dirty players that come out of SA? Rugby ain’t racist mate get a grip on it.

[@edwardstroud8245]

@@HighMaintenancePS the old racist card. Have you just come from a WOKE convention? What has colour got to do with it. By your logic, I could equally say then that you’re a racist as well for calling SA’s dirty, just because because they’re white. AND, you’re making a judgment about me, based on what YOU think the colour of my skin is. Now that IS racist.

[@thomaslequesne5475]

@@HighMaintenancePS it has nothing to do with race. Players are taught that they should'nt play like this in almost every part of the world. Many polynesians also play for other nations and don't behave this way. It's a cultural thing, not a racial one.

[@rob-robi]

I'm amazed at how tough these guys are. And this dude is built like a rhinoceros

[@ioanpena]

He is very fast for a short strong rugby player !!!

[@Rossk58]

He's amazing.

[@rccle1023]

You have to have serious balls to try to tackle that guy one on one in the open field after he gets moving. That's a career decision there.

[@anthonycloud7109]

Well let's get right into it this guy reminds me of the great Earl Campbell pro football player Houston Oilers was a beast on the field now he barely can walk from all of his injuries playing the sport that he love I'm just saying y'all have a good day

[@Genesislights]

He’d be the best running back in NFL today.

[@dangolfishin]

Lol doubtful. The best running backs usually have atleast 4.4 speed. Take any NFL running back and they'd be elite with the ball in rugby

[@guslevy3506]

He is built to be a middle linebacker in the NFL…low center of gravity, quick and fast, and plays with a violent mean streak.

[@chiomaogbah5038]

Wow..What a raw steel..

[@mikechrister2736]

Can you imagine how much it hurts to be tackled by him? Like a dump truck.

[@bobwu539]

bro his speed combined with his weight and power makes a lot of force that is gonna fold any defence coming his way.

[@MiXiMuP0]

He could be AD in NFL

Imagine this dude at FB and then imagine a DB trying to tackle him. Dude has to try out for the NFL.

[@dcmcg7581]

That dude is impressive and a phenomenal athlete but nobody here was using "proper" American Football tackling form and Brudda is running pretty upright. He would need to relearn or end up on his head quite a bit.

A "killing machine" is not what you want. This will end in tears.

Was surprised in autumn series how much more impressive he he was than Thor. Was he injured something? Or was Genge just more of a beast?

[@dezman56ford]

He's a wrecking machine alright, don't see him playing more'n 2 seasons though, shifting that bulk around is hard work on those legs n knee's, the injuries will begin to pile up.

I'm American so I'm not to educated on the game and business of Rugby. Do these guys sign monster contracts like NFL players? These guys play both offense and defense at the same time. What a crazy, demented game! I fkn love it!

[@juuunz9166]

I don't think rugby players get paid the same as NFL players, but its a pretty big amount for a rugby player

[@garypatterson9593]

They don't get remotely near what an NFL player is paid. They play for the love of the game and the opportunity to represent their country at international level. Likewise though, I would love to see The Gronk and JJ Watt in their prime on the rugby field. I think once they worked out how to play the game they'd be pretty spectacular to watch.

[@erichvonmolder9310]

What's his 40 time?

[@djrondo1224]

Should try the NFL with that size , speed, power. Could make a small fortune if he could be half as dominant.

[@Thebagman007]

Would be #1 Full back in the NFL if he ever got signed

[@dangolfishin]

Maybe but there are only like 20 fullbacks in the NFL these days

[@greekperspective2076]

[@harryocallaghan8082]

@@DryUrDad He’s definitely not. Tupou does t even start for the Wallabies. Furlong has dismantled every front row in the world. He’s unbelievably good. He side steps backs for fun. He can bosh it up the middle and put huge men on their asses. He has subtle offloads. He’s a beast of a tackler and lie out lifter. And he can kick the ball because of his Gaelic football passed. He’s the all round package.
