The two centres had a fierce confrontation again in Brisbane, but Tuipulotu said that it’s simply a case of two competitors going hard against one another.
“There’s always talking on the field, isn’t there? He’s a competitor. I spoke to him after the game,” Tuipulotu said.
“He’s a competitor and so am I. I don’t say sorry about anything I say on the field but I’m sure he’s the same.
“Out there competing in the highest level of rugby it should be like that, it should be opposite positions going at each other, that’s what people want to see. I thought he was good tonight and it was nice playing up against him.”

Tuipulotu has been acting as tour guide for his Lions’ teammates in Australia, and admitted to doing a poor job so far. The Scottish centre is confident that he bring far more expertise to Melbourne and is looking forward to catching up with former teammates after Tuesday’s game between the Lions and First Nations and Pasifika XV.
“There’s been so many games over this tour and the more games, the better, the more exposure for those players (First Nations and Pasifika XV) to get the opportunity to play against the Lions, I think it’s really special,” Tuipulotu said.
“Guys like Rob Leota and Lukhan (Salakaia-Loto) they’re all guys that I grew up with, Rob probably more specifically I grew up with since I was a kid, I know he wants one more game in Melbourne for him before he heads off to Bayonne.
“I know it’s really special for those players. We’re going to have to be really up for it and not be caught between two Tests, it’s going to be a tough game.”
Tuipulotu is braced for a motivated Wallabies side who are playing to keep the series alive in front of a huge crowd at the MCG after an impressive second-half comeback after being comprehensively outplayed in the first forty minutes.
“I think the most important thing this week is that we expect them to be desperate but no more desperate than us because we’re trying to close out a series next Saturday,” Tuipulotu said.
“We’ll focus on us this week and try and get everything right like we did this week and just up our performance again and then we can close it out.”
