Wallabies excited by Tupou’s return to squad as front-row bond builds

Wallabies prop Angus Bell is delighted to have good mate Taniela Tupou back in the squad as they travel to Argentina for the Rugby Championship.

The squad arrived in Buenos Aires overnight ahead of their opening Test of the two-match series next Sunday.

The return of powerhouse Tupou is a major asset to their chances of taking down the World Cup semi-finalist after missing the Springbok leg following the death of his father.

Bell and Tupou shared the recovery journey in 2023, and the prop believes Tupou is back in the right headspace to deliver.

The pair will be Super Rugby teammates in 2025 at the NSW Waratahs and will be joined by Isaac Kailea, with the loosehead signing on during the week.

The Wallabies will meet Argentina at 10am, and the Springboks will face the All Blacks at 3am.

Both matches will be played next Sunday.
