New Wests Tigers recruit Lote Tuqiri has arrived!

The dual international landed at Sydney Airport this morning following his long and delayed flight from London after his successful rugby stint with Leicester Tigers. 

Having pushed along a trolley full of heavy luggage, Lote and his family were given a warm welcome by Wests Tigers CEO Stephen Humphreys.

With cameras flashing and television camera crews filming his every step, Tuqiri was taken to his chauffeured driven car to return home.

A true professional on and off the field, Tuqiri will have a short break at home before arriving at Concord Oval to speak at a media conference before meeting up with Head Coach Tim Sheens and captain Robbie Farah.

Tuqiri has been named on the wing to play Manly Sea Eagles at the Sydney Football Stadium on Monday night, March 15. He has signed with the Wests Tigers for three years.
