NAME: Sione Tuipulotu
DOB: 12/02/1997
POSITION: Centre
CLUB: Glasgow Warriors
SCOTLAND CAPS: 30
Born in Australia, Tuipulotu has won 30 caps for Scotland since making his debut in 2021, qualifying for the Scots through his grandmother.
The powerful 12 previously played for Australia's Under-20s, but his career stalled until a 2021 move to Glasgow, and he is now one of the premier inside centres in the game.
Tuipulotu was instrumental in the Warriors’ URC title win in 2024, and was made Scotland captain ahead of the November internationals that year.
A pectoral injury ruled him out of the 2025 Six Nations, although he returned for the Warriors in their URC Round 18 defeat to Leinster.
