Tupaea is a talented rugby player who has been under scrutiny as the All Blacks squad selection approaches. His playing style, characterized by gain-line strengths, puts him in direct competition with other midfield candidates like Jordie Barrett and Timoci Tavatavanawai. While he is recognized for his power and ability to break tackles, Tupaea faces challenges in regaining his place in the All Blacks, especially as selectors weigh the need for different skills and styles within the team.
