From the 135kg 'Tongan Hulk' to a table tennis player with no arms, Daily Shorts looks at the light-hearted side of sport.
Remember the name, Taniela "Turbo' Tupou.
He's as big as a prop, quick as a winger, as mobile as an outside centre and now, the hottest young property in NZ rugby.
The 18-year-old Sacred Heart college student - known as 'The Tongan Hulk' - ran in three tries in the first 20 minutes of his school's win over Kelston Boys' High School.
Oh and he's also 135kg...
When the video of Tupou hit the internet it instantly went viral. Within 18 hours it has had over 20,000 likes on Facebook, 30,000 views on You Tube and has been shared on international websites like the Telegraph.co.uk, the Score and rugbydump.
Tupou is sure to attract attention from Super Rugby and even the Warriors once he's done destroying the rest of the Auckland's top schoolboy talent.
Hopping their way into history?
Fifa has revealed the results of a competition it ran to provide a slogan for each of the 32 team buses at this year's World Cup.
There are some real shockers in the mix like Australia's ("Socceroos: hopping our way into history!"), and Chile's ("Chi Chi Chi!, Le Le Le! Go Chile"), but we actually think Japan's is pretty cool - "Samurai, the time has come to fight!"
