Viliami Vunipola (born 3 November 1992) is a professional rugby union player who plays as a number eight for the Top 14 side Montpellier.

[11] He also helped Saracens win the European Rugby Champions Cup three times in four seasons; beating Racing 92 in 2016[13] and the following year defeating ASM Clermont Auvergne at Murrayfield to retain their title.

[15] After Saracens were relegated from the Premiership due to salary cap breaches,[16] Vunipola scored two tries in the 2021 Championship play-off final as they overcame Ealing Trailfinders to gain promotion and an immediate return to the top flight.

[30] In January 2016 new head coach Eddie Jones included Vunipola in his squad for the 2016 Six Nations Championship[31] and he started all the fixtures during the tournament as England achieved their first grand slam in over a decade.

[33] The following year saw Vunipola score a try against Scotland in the penultimate round of the 2017 Six Nations Championship[34] and he then started in the last match of the tournament loss away to Ireland which ensured England failed to complete consecutive grand slams and also brought an end to a record equalling eighteen successive Test victories.

[37] He subsequently scored a try in the pool game against the United States[38] and won his 50th cap in the semi-final victory over New Zealand.

[44] However, due to an ongoing shoulder injury, he withdrew from the squad on 21 May 2017 and was replaced by England back-row teammate James Haskell.
