Five players England and Borthwick must start phasing out ahead of World Cup

#5. Mako Vunipola

With Joe Marler in trouble once again, Vunipola is in a good place to be England’s experienced loosehead for the 2023 Six Nations and beyond.

Vunipola made his England debut in 2012 and has since won 67 caps. He toured with the British & Irish Lions in 2013, 2017 and 2021, winning 9 caps. He won the award for England Player of the Year in 2018.

DID YOU KNOW? Born in New Zealand to Tongan parents, he qualified for England through residency
