Wallabies Release Tupou for Waratahs-Lions Clash

News summary

Wallabies prop Taniela Tupou has been released from the national squad to play for the New South Wales Waratahs against the British & Irish Lions, casting doubt on his place in the upcoming Test series. Coach Joe Schmidt is expected to favor Allan Alaalatoa and Tom Robertson at tighthead prop, especially after Robertson’s strong performance for Western Force against the Lions. Tupou's inconsistent form makes his selection for the Lions series uncertain. Former Fiji captain Pita Nacuva has urged the Flying Fijians to prioritize rugby basics as they prepare to face the Wallabies. The Lions started their Australian tour with a dominant win over Western Force, intensifying anticipation for the series. Ex-Wallabies captain James Horwill remains optimistic about Australia's prospects, despite the Lions being favorites.
