Tuipulotu has travelled with the Wales squad to Australia ahead of a two-Test tour against the Wallaroos, starting with Saturday’s game in Brisbane.
“I’m doing everything I can to return to play, I’m as ready as I can be,” said the tight-head.
Wales are still looking for a first win under head coach Sean Lynn after five straight Six Nations defeats.
They face an Australian side four places above them in World Rugby’s rankings, but Tuipulotu is confident they can be competitive after a brutal pre-season.
“It’s been tough, we’ve been training in the heat, climbing up sand dunes and going into army camps, but we’ve got to put our bodies in uncomfortable positions in order to be comfortable in the game,” she said.
“I think it will be a good test before the World Cup, just to see where we are at as a team.
“We’ve got to take confidence in all the work that we’ve done in this pre-season and just go out and be us.”
