A video showing a nine year old rugby league player carving up opposition teams has gone global.
Meaalofa Te’o is a junior footy player who recently played in a gala competition in Canberra with his team.
Footage of young Meaalofa trampling through opposition sides and throwing off defenders like rag doll’s got the attention of the USA Sevens Rugby team, who posted a compilation of some of the young lads’ devastating runs of their social channels, racking up an incredible 25 million views so far!

The video has also generated plenty of attention in US media, almost giving Rugby League more exposure in the States than Jarryd Hayne’s ill-fated tilt at an NFL career.

With form like this and the amount of exposure Teo’s video has generated, we wonder how long until NRL coaches start trying to sign him up???
