Ben Tameifuna, the heaviest rugby player in the world, has left fans astounded with his display of incredible strength on the field! Weighing nearly 24 stone, Tameifuna is not only leading his Tongan team in the Pacific Nations Cup but also capturing the hearts of over a million viewers online. A viral video shows him bulldozing through opponents and even carrying a teammate over the try line in a jaw-dropping move.
Once tipping the scales at over 26 stone, Tameifuna was tasked with shedding some weight during his time in France to stay match-fit. His dedication and power have taken the internet by storm, with massive views across Instagram and TikTok.
Born in New Zealand and once training with the All Blacks, Tameifuna ventured to Europe over a decade ago, eventually joining Bordeaux-Begles in 2020. He switched his international allegiance to Tonga in 2017, proving unstoppable ever since.
In a game against Samoa last weekend, which Tonga won 30-16, Tameifuna’s performance was nothing short of epic, lasting 52 minutes on the pitch and showcasing the unbelievable athleticism that defies his size. Have you seen the footage yet? Let us know your thoughts! 🏉💪
