Ryan Wilson believes Scotland's newly-appointed captain Sione Tuipulotu can secure a place on the Lions tour with strong performances in the Autumn Nations Series. Following a convincing win over Fiji, Tuipulotu's leadership and partnership with Huw Jones will be key in the upcoming match against South Africa.
Ryan Wilson believes newly-installed Scotland captain Sione Tuipulotu can cement his place on next summer’s Lions tour with impressive displays in the Autumn Nations Series .
“He’s passionate about the team, both Glasgow Warriors and Scotland, and you saw how proud he was. It was amazing to see him line up as captain and his mum Angelina was over, who is a legend as well. I definitely think there’s a Lions jersey waiting for him, without a doubt.” “The big question is whether the pack can stand up against the South Africans. Zander Fagerson will have to put in an absolute shift but if they can match them up front, which is going to be difficult, they might be able to get something out of that game. If there's a time to do it, it's definitely now.”
