#3. Billy Vunipola
Another player yet to formally sign a new contract is Saracens powerhouse Billy Vunipola.
According to The Telegraph, Vunipola is expected to stay with the Premiership champions for the next season, forming part of a formidable back-row lineup that includes Tom Willis, Ben Earl, Theo McFarland, and Andy Christie.
However, according to The Rugby Paper, he may join former England coach Eddie Jones in Japan.
They believe that Tokyo Sungoliath, who has a longstanding consultancy agreement with Jones, is the frontrunner to secure Vunipola’s signature.
Their current No. 8, Tevita Tatafu, is set to depart for Bordeaux after this season, and Vunipola is being considered as a potential replacement.
