Prop Vunipola latest England star in Top 14 exodus with Vannes move

Front-rower Vunipola won the last of his 79 caps against Ireland in March 2023 and has toured with the British and Irish Lions on three occasions. The 33-year-old follows his younger brother Billy Vunipola at Montpellier and ex-captain Owen Farrell at Racing 92 in leaving Saracens for France as English rugby continues to suffer financially. "A real legend of English rugby," Vannes said in a statement. "By committing to Vannes, Mako Vunipola will have his first experience of playing abroad and will discover the Top 14," they added.
