New Zealand high school rugby sensation Taniela Tupou will join the Queensland Reds in 2015 after committing to the club for at least two years.
Commonly referred to as the 'Tongan Thor', Tupou turned heads in May when a video of him scoring a hat‑trick for Auckland's Sacred Heart College First XV went viral.
He has since represented the Pacific Barbarians in an exhibition match against Tonga, alongside former All Blacks scrumhalf Justin Marshall.
The 135kg, 18‑year‑old prop grew up in Tonga, but joined Sacred Heart College on a scholarship in 2011, after touring New Zealand with the Tongan Under 14s.
He is currently in his final year of school and will join the Reds for pre‑season after graduation.
Meanwhile the Wallabies will take on the Pumas at 10.05pm tomorrow while at 7.35pm the All Blacks face the Springboks.
