200kg bench press? No problem for Toulouse star Junior Vaivai

Drew Darbyshire

Junior Vaivai has smashed Toulouse’s bench press record by lifting 200kg!

The French club uploaded a video to social media of Vaivai benching 200kg – the club’s record – just days after he lifted 190kg.

Vaivai, who is the cousin of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, joined Toulouse midway through the 2019 campaign and has scored five tries in nine games for the club so far.

The 31-year-old outside back has earned eight caps for USA on the international stage, and represented the nation at the 2019 Nines World Cup.
