Saracens are facing the likely departure of Billy and Mako Vunipola at the end of the season. Recent reports from France suggest that Billy has already secured a contract with a team across the Channel and Mako is also expected to make a move. This news comes after Saracens confirmed Owen Farrell's move to Racing 92. Billy Vunipola is rumored to be heading to Montpellier for the 2024/25 season, despite interest from Japanese and Super Rugby clubs as well as other French teams. Saracens boss Mark McCall has acknowledged that the Vunipola brothers are likely to leave the club.
Mako Vunipola, who retired from international rugby before the 2024 Six Nations, is also attracting interest from French clubs and potentially a Super Rugby team. The Vunipolas are joining a growing list of English internationals leaving the Premiership for opportunities in France, including Farrell, Lawes, Ludlam, and Sinckler.
