Tuipulotu returns from injury ahead of Lions tour

***********-raised British and Irish Lions centre Sione Tuipulotu has made his return from injury in Glasgow Warriors’ 13-5 defeat to Leinster at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium.

Ruled out since January with a pectoral injury, Scotland captain Tuipulotu got 40 minutes under his belt on Saturday but BKT United Rugby Championship table-toppers Leinster were victorious.

The centre is set to return to Australia next month with the Lions after being included in coach Andy Farrelll’s 38-player squad for the nine-match, three-Test tour.

Defending champions Glasgow, who were leapfrogged by Hollywoodbets Sharks into third place, will host the DHL Stormers in two weeks’ time.

Lions squad members James Ryan and Tuipulotu were both back from spells on the sidelines, the latter combining with fellow Lions call-up Huw Jones in Glasgow’s midfield.

Tuipulotu threatened with a chip and chase during the match and his removal after 40 minutes looked a precautionary move.
