Video - Tongan Thor shows the 'skills of a flyhalf' in NRC semi-final display
By RugbyPass
Bond University Queensland Country defeated Fijian Drua 57-21 to book their spot in the 2017 National Rugby Championship grand final.
Tighthead Taniel 'Tongan Thor' Tupou put in a standout performance. In the first half the 129kg Tupou threw a no look over the shoulder to set up a teammate after a big carry off a lineout.
Later in the same half the 21-year-old receives the ball in a slight of hand at the lineout, breaking and stepping a number of tackles on his way over the line.
Elsewhere a message left to fellow pupils by young Tongan Thor in his old school - Sacred Heart in Auckland - has gone viral. A photo of a piece of graffiti left by the powerhouse prop has been widely shared.
