'Tongan Thor' named in Reds squad!
Tongan born Taniela Tupou, nicknamed the Tongan Thor, has been confirmed in the Reds' Super Rugby squad for next season.
The ex-Sacred Heart College student moved to Australia two years ago after being blocked by the NZRU for not having a NZ passport.
Despite this, Tupou has gone from strength to strength, starring for the Brothers club and turning heads for Queensland Country in Australia's National Rugby Championship where he scored three tries in six matches this year.
He is one of eight new faces in the 37-man Reds' squad.
The Reds began pre-season training this week in preparation for the 2016 Super Rugby season, which starts on February 27 against the Waratahs in Sydney.

Bidding war for Manu Tuilagi tops $1M
The Samoan born player is at the centre of a tug of war that is set to see him become English club rugby's richest player at $1.15 million a season.
English coach Stuart Lancaster's hard-line disciplinary attitude in the leadup to the tournament saw Tuilagi dropped from the World Cup squad after he was convicted of assaulting two female police officers and damaging a taxi.
Now the recent hike in the salary cap by $2.13m is set to earn the 24-year-old Samoan a fortune as a bidding war for his services escalates.
Last month Saracens offered Tuilagi a $920,000 deal, yet Tuilagi's club Leicester have raised the stakes beyond the million dollar mark as they look to keep him for next season.
Tuilagi, who is both midfielder and winger, has played 25 tests for England since 2011 and was part of the British & Irish Lions triumph in Australia in 2013.
