Porirua rugby league player Olu Siohane-Hune,10, has copped sideline abuse because of his size.
Softly-spoken Olu Siohane-Hune could be considered a regular 10-year-old sports-mad kid, playing for his beloved Porirua Vikings Rugby League Club and dreaming of one day suiting up in the toughest competition in the world – the NRL.
