He is in the lineage of Taniela Tupou, Kalyn Ponga and Damian Willemse. Like them, he was a teenage star of social networks thanks to his exploits even before playing professionally.
Him ? The most skilled will of course have recognized the last missing link: Asafo Aumua. At 20 years old, he blew up all the defenses that got in his way, for example by scoring a monstrous hat-trick in the U20 World Cup final.

SO ? If nothing suggests today that Aumua will choose UBB, such a recruit would nevertheless be colossal at the heels. While Bordeaux has already obtained the agreement of the coffee table Tevita Tatafu (133kg), and would target the titan Posolo Tuilagi (145kg)…
