Across his career, Taulupe Faletau has firmly established himself as one of the finest number eights in world rugby and will go down as one of Wales’ best ever players.
The Tongan-born back row – who initially came through the Dragons’ academy – arrived at Cardiff Rugby in the summer of 2022, following six years with Bath.
A three-times British and Irish Lions tourist, Faletau has played his part in three Six Nations title victories as he fast approaches a century of Test appearances.
