Patrick Tuipulotu Biography

Patrick Tuipulotu is one of the most popular and richest New Zealand rugby union player who was born on January 23, 1993 in Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand. Patrick Tito Tuipulotu (born 23 January 1993) is a New Zealand rugby union player who currently plays as an official player for 3 professional clubs: The All Blacks, the Blues in Super Rugby and Auckland in the Mitre 10 Cup.

He was selected in a training squad that was a preliminarily selected one to the All Blacks on 12 May 2014. Tuipulotu was later chosen to his first time in the All Blacks’ squad for the first time on the 1st of June 2014. Tuipulotu was able to make his All Blacks debut as a substitute in the victory, which was 28-27 against England on the 14th of June in 2014. Tuipulotu did not play much in his debut, replacing well-known Brodie Retallick, who had only four minutes remaining. Tuipulotu did the same the following week, with the exception that New Zealand beat England 36-13 with Tuipulotu as substitute.

Tuipulotu did not play any international rugby in 2015, missing out on the World Cup due to injury. Following his comeback to Super Rugby after recovering, Tuipulotu was selected for the All Blacks’ 32-man squad for the 2016 Steinlager series against Wales. Tuipulotu came off the bench in the first two tests of the series and went on to start against Argentina in the second test against them in the Rugby Championship.

Following injury to Brodie Retallick and Sam Whitelock, as well as the death of Luke Romano’s relative, Tuipulotu started in a historic 29-40 first-time loss against Ireland in Chicago, on 5 November 2016, with Blues teammate Jerome Kaino, who was shifted from blindside flanker to lock, following uncapped locks Scott Barrett and Vaea Fifita being called up as injury cover. Tuipulotu played the majority of the test before being replaced by Ardie Savea in the 59th minute. The poor performances of Tuipulotu, Kaino, Joe Moody and Aaron Smith were later criticised, with the unusual locking combination against Ireland generally accepted as the cause of New Zealand’s loss. Starting in combination with the now-capped Barrett against Italy the following week, Tuipulotu scored his second test try, producing a much better performance in the 68-10 win.

After being removed from the bench three times more throughout the 2014 Rugby Championship, Tuipulotu earned his first game with the All Blacks against the USA on November 1, 2014. Tuipulotu took on the entire 80 minutes of the match against the USA and scored his first attempt of his career in the first portion of the 71-6 win. Tuipulotu completed his year off with two appearances as a bench player in the final tour of the year.
