The lure of the 2025 British and Irish Lions series and 2027 home World Cup could be key factors in keeping Wallabies powerhouse Taniela Tupou in Australia long-term.
Tupou, 26, is off contract with Rugby Australia at year's end, with overseas clubs set to challenge for the imposing front-rower's signature.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, Tupou said playing against the Lions was a goal he'd like to achieve in his career, as he kept the door open to a new deal with Rugby Australia and the Queensland Reds.
