Sione Tuipulotu Named Scotland Rugby Captain for Fiji Clash

The Glasgow Warriors center reflects on his journey from Australia to leading Scotland, driven by determination and support from family.

Sione Tuipulotu, an Australian with Tongan heritage, will captain Scotland against Fiji at Murrayfield, marking a significant milestone in his rugby career.
Tuipulotu credits his rise to the captaincy to hard work and a strong belief in his vision, despite early career challenges in Australia and Japan.
He qualified to play for Scotland through his Scottish grandmother and made his debut in 2021, quickly becoming a key player for the national team.
Tuipulotu's appointment has sparked discussions about nationality in rugby, but he emphasizes his commitment to Scotland and the support from his coaches.
Scotland faces potential lineup changes with tighthead prop Zander Fagerson's availability uncertain, possibly promoting D'Arcy Rae and introducing Fin Richardson.
