PROFILE

Having represented Australia at Schoolboy, U17 and U20 level, centre Sione Tuipulotu played Super Rugby for Melbourne Rebels between 2016 and 2019, and then in the Japanese Top League in 2021, before signing a deal with Glasgow Warriors ahead of the 2021/22 season.

Eligible for Scotland through his grandmother, Tuipulotu’s impressive early-season form at Scotstoun saw him included for a Scotland debut against Tonga in the 2021 Autumn Nations Series game at BT Murrayfield, from which point he has become a consistent performer in the national squad, including featuring in all four Autumn Nations Series matches in 2022 and excelling in the 2023 Guinness Six Nations, where Tuipulotu was named in the Team of the Championship on the back of outstanding displays.

Ahead of the 2024 Autumn Nations Series, Tuipulotu was given the Scotland captaincy, a role he stills holds for the 2025 Quilter Nations Series.
