Mako Vunipola is a celebrated rugby union player known for his formidable career with Saracens and the England national team, recognized for his extensive contributions as a loosehead prop on both domestic and international stages. After making his Test debut for England in November 2012 against Fiji, Mako Vunipola quickly established himself as a formidable presence on the international rugby stage as a loosehead prop. His professional club career began with Bristol Rugby from 2010 to 2011, before he joined Saracens in 2011, where he cemented his status as a foundational player for over a decade. Vunipola’s impressive early international career included selection for his first British & Irish Lions tour to Australia in 2013, where he contributed significantly, and he scored his first international try for England against Italy in 2014.

By 2015, he had already contributed to his first Premiership title with Saracens, signaling the start of a dominant era. Vunipola’s tenure with Saracens became synonymous with unparalleled domestic and European success. He played a crucial role in securing four Premiership titles, triumphing in 2015, 2016, 2018, and 2019. This remarkable club dominance was further amplified by three European Rugby Champions Cup victories for Saracens in 2016, 2017, and 2019, cementing their status as a powerhouse.

Later the same year, after 13 seasons of exceptional service and numerous accolades with Saracens, he departed the club to embark on a new chapter in his highly successful club career, joining French Top 14 side Vannes. This move marked a significant new phase for the decorated prop forward.
