'Huwipulotu' gets the nod

Posted by Editor on July 17, 2025 08:51 AM | No comments | Print | E-mail author

Sione Tuipulotu starts for the Lions
Glasgow's Sione Tuipulotu and Huw Jones will line up at centre for the British & Irish Lions in Saturday's first Test against Australia in Brisbane (ko 11.00am, UK time).

Tuipulotu has played every minute of his four appearances on the tour to date, opening his try-scoring account against the AUNZ Invitational XV last time out.

Jones's tally of three tries on tour to date equals the highest total in a single tour by a Glasgow Warrior in the professional era, the 31-year-old having also made 208 metres with ball in hand during his four outings in the red jersey to date.

'Huwipulotu' will line up alongside their Scottish international colleague - and former Warrior - Finn Russell.
