Vodafone Warriors player Shaun Johnson has got it going on. He's a great sportsman with some incredible defining moments. Who can forget his 80th minute try and conversion at last year's Rugby League World Cup at Wembley Stadium, ensuring his team's place in the cup final? In the sartorial sense, Johnson is equally talented, making a stylish mark when stepping out on the town.

You'll find him wearing the coolest New Zealand brands - think Stolen Girlfriends Club - balanced by a stylish coif, courtesy of his trusted barber. Bendon Man, sponsor of the Warriors, recently launched a campaign for the public to nominate their favourite everyday "warrior" (just add the hashtag #bendonman and #everydaywarrior on social media).

Shaun's pick? His dad. A family man at heart, Shaun can't get enough of his mum's Lao cooking. Viva caught up with him to find out a few of his favourite things.
