Little Cousin Carwyn Aims To Be Chip Off The Faletau/Vunipola Block

Carwyn Tuipulotu – one of the most coveted young rugby players in the UK – hopes he can be Wales’ No 8 in the long-run after turning his back on England. The 18-year-old is a cousin of England stars Billy and Mako Vunipola while he is also related to Wales No.8 Taulupe Faletau. Wales have struggled to produce destructive ball carrying No.8s in recent years, but at six foot two inches and 125kg, Tuipulotu could potentially provide be the long-term solution.
