Date of birth: 23/9/79
Position: Wing
Test caps: 53
Test Debut: Ireland, 2003
Test Points: 135
Current Club: Waratahs.
Strengths: Tuqiri is one of the most feared finishers in the game. Not just because he is quick, but he is so hard to put down.
Weaknesses: On the pitch he can get turned and stepped by a nimble opponent, and there are question marks about his discipline and self-control. Off it, there is a predilection to a wilder life than ARU management will always tolerate as well.
Likely headline(s): Lote Tequila at it again
Did you know? He has a deserved reputation for physicality, but he was reduced to a fleeing panicking mess at a Wallaby training camp near Darwin in 2003, when a four-metre long saltwater crocodile took exception to Tuqiri's camera flashes and had a pop at his boat!
