Watch out Waisake Naholo, your brother could have eye on an All Black jersey.
19-year-old Kiniviliame Naholo has starred for Taranaki in their 78-0 Ranfurly Shield triumph over Poverty Bay in Tikorangi.
The 2017 school boy standout bagged a pair of tries in the first half on debut for the Shield holders.
Naholo bagged an astonishing 40 tries in 20 games for Hastings Boys' High School last year.
Substituted at halftime, Naholo also proved to be a provider, setting up centre Latu Vaeno in between his first-half efforts.
The 12-try romp was even more impressive given the amber and blacks were without any of their Super Rugby contingent, fielding nine debutants.
The 78-point whitewash was Taranaki's second successful defence of the tenure, meaning they defend again next weekend, when they host Wanganui in Hawera.
