Tupaea earned an All Blacks recall for July\u2019s test series against France, ending a near three-year exile after dropping down the pecking order after a serious knee injury.<\/p>\n

During the first Bledisloe Cup test in 2022, a reckless tackle by Wallabies lock Darcy Swain left him with a ruptured medial cruciate ligament (MCL) and a partial tear of his left knee\u2019s anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), forcing him into a long recovery period.<\/p>\n
