According to Sione Tuipulotu, staying in Scotstoun “just made sense…”
Before opting to sign a new contract to remain at Glasgow Warriors, Sione Tuipulotu claims he had the chance to join teams in France and England.
The Scotland captain claims he can fulfil all of his goals at Scotstoun and has committed to the Warriors through the summer of 2028.

and I had a feeling that I was content with my current situation.
“I’m content where I am, so why strive to find anything more, somewhere else?

“I’m content with my current location in Glasgow. Why move when I have a strong chance of chasing trophies in Glasgow?
