This is another big move on the transfer market for RC Vannes. Announced a few weeks agothe Breton club has just made official the signing of the English pillar Mako Vunipolafrom Saracens. With 79 selections with the British XV, which makes him the fourth most capped pillar in English history, he will come to strengthen the already well-stocked Vannes first line with the recent arrival of Hugo DejhiThis signing is in line with the recruitment policy of RC Vannes, which has already attracted some big fish into its nets such as Philip I lied or Fabrice Metz.
An experienced player
The recruitment of Mako Vunipola will allow RC Vannes to calmly prepare for its Top 14 season. Having never played in the elite, the Vannes leaders are ensuring a gain in experience with the arrival of Vunipola. At 33 years old, the Wellington native has won practically everything under the Sarries jersey: five times English champions, but also double European champions in 2016 and 2017. A list of achievements that is all the more important, when we know that RC Vannes qualifies for the Challenge Cup. The pillar will therefore be able to show off all his talent and know-how. In the English selection, Mako Vunipola won three Six Nations Tournaments, including a Grand Slam in 2016. He was a starter in the World Cup final lost to the South Africans in 2019. Despite a great career, Mako Vunipola has never played in the Top 14. He will therefore discover this competition, just like his new club.
