In his first year as a professional player, he made his debut for the national team against Ireland and was selected for the Wallabies' campaign for the 2003 Rugby Union World Cup.
Turinui was named vice-captain of the Wallabies for their Bledisloe Cup Test against the All Blacks in September 2005 and played in all 13 of the Wallabies' Tests in that year. In June 2007, Turinui signed with the Queensland Reds for the 2008 Super 14 season. Now after a stretch at  Stade Français, Turinui has now taken up the head coaching role at Lille Metropole
In this interview Morgan discusses the following:

His transition from a professional player to a professional coach
The French's approach rugby and how that differs from that of Australia
What profile of player Lille Metropole looks for and how that differs from the large top 14 clubs
The importance for regular club level rugby, even for professional players
His mentors during his career and how those relationships affected his approach to rugby
How if Drew Mitchell and Matt Giteau we're allowed to play for Australia in RWC 2015. Australia would have a good shot at winning!
Also Morgan lifts the lid on a few misnomers around the money involved in French rugby, and how
players can earn the same amount in Australia
