As a scrumhalf, I don’t like it when the occasional team here and there has a rapid prop that can outpace me. Taniela is definitely one of those. 😂

It's because at a young age if you're the biggest player you just run straight and you always score. Clubs are moving the young bigger players up an age group or two so they don't just rely on their size, they have to learn to the technical skills of the game. New Zealand have being doing it for years!

One thing for sure, he is VERY flexible. There's a reason why tighthead prop such as him is able to do high-knee sprintings. His range of motion and mobility are some of the underrated aspects that make me admire him. 👍

I remember watching a video of Topou years a go playing as a kid steam rolling everyone in his path and I also remember all of the negative comments of how he would get smashed and not go far as he got older and would get left behind in the system because everyone would be as big and as strong as him. I wish I could find that post and just spam the link to this video in the comment section.
