Born in New Zealand to Tongan parents, he qualified for England through residency. Vunipola made his England debut in 2012 and has since won 52 caps. He toured with the British and Irish Lions in 2013 and 2017, winning 6 caps. He won the award for England Player of the Year in 2018.[3] Early lifeBorn in Wellington, New Zealand, Vunipola was raised for much of his childhood in Wales and attended Porth County Community School, and later West Monmouth School. He started playing rugby in Wales, and played alongside brother Billy for New Panteg RFC. His family then moved to Thornbury, Gloucestershire, and he attended the local comprehensive The Castle School and then Millfield. Club careerBristolVunipola began his professional career at Bristol Rugby, and began to build his reputation in the South West, where his loose play was first perceived as outstanding. SaracensVunipola was signed at the end of the 2010–11 RFU Championship season by the 2010–11 Aviva Premiership Champions Saracens.[4] International careerVunipola represented the England U18 and U20 teams.[5] He was called up to the England Saxons Squad in September 2012 to replace Dave Wilson, who was promoted to the senior squad.[6] He was then called up to the England Squad in October 2012 for the Autumn Internationals, before making his debut from the bench against Fiji on 10 November 2012. He scored his first try for England during a 52-11 win over Italy.[7] In 2013 Vunipola was selected for the British & Irish Lions tour to Australia, playing in all three tests.[8][9] Vunipola has been a first-choice player for England since 2016. In 2017, after returning from injury to win the Six Nations for the second year running, Vunipola was again selected for the British and Irish Lions. This time Vunipola would be touring to his birthplace in New Zealand. Vunipola's younger brother Billy was selected for the team as well, but withdrew before leaving the United Kingdom for New Zealand, being replaced by their team mate James Haskell in the squad. After strong performances during the tour, Vunipola started against the Maori All Blacks and the All Blacks for all three tests. Vunipola received a yellow card in the second test for a dangerous tackle on opposing first-five Beauden Barrett, ending his second test. Vunipola made his 50th international appearance on 18 November 2017 when he started for England in their 30-6 win over Australia. He was replaced in the 63rd minute by fellow 50-test veteran Joe Marler. Personal lifeVunipola is the son of former Tongan captain Fe'ao Vunipola and Methodist Minister, Rev. Iesinga Vunipola (who is also Chaplain to the UK Tongan Community).[10] He is also the nephew of two other former international players, Manu and 'Elisi Vunipola who both represented Tonga in the 1990s. His early rugby career began playing for New Panteg RFC, playing alongside current Welsh Number 8 Taulupe Faletau. He also has a brother, Billy Vunipola who plays at number 8 for Saracens and England.
