Vunipola brothers to leave Saracens at the end of the season

Vunipola brothers to leave Saracens at the end of the season

Brothers Billy and Mako Vunipola will both leave Saracens at the end of the season.

Mako has been with the Saracens for 13 years, having arrived in 2011. He was joined by his younger brother, Billy, two years later.

They have won five Premiership crowns and three European titles during their time at the club.

Manu Vunipola, the cousin of Billy and Mako, has also confirmed he will be leaving Saracens at the end of the campaign.

Billy was recently issued with a formal warning by the Rugby Football Union and warned by his club after being arrested in Majorca last month.

Confirming his departure, Saracens announced that the number eight is leaving "for a new challenge".

Mako was born in New Zealand and his brother in Australia but they qualified to play for England on residency grounds and won three Six Nations titles as well as the 2016 Grand Slam.

Billy was part of the England side which reached the 2019 Rugby World Cup final and last year's semi-final, losing to South Africa on both occasions. His brother also played in the 2019 final.
