Charlie Faumuina's Story: From Builder to All Black & World Cup winner

In a very special interview on the DSPN, former All Blacks and Blues prop Charlie Faumuina sits down in studio with Marty Devlin, to discuss his remarkable career spanning international, franchise and club rugby. From his 50 appearances for Auckland and 99 for the Blues, to his journey with the All Blacks that began in 2012 and included a 2015 World Cup win. Charlie admits he intended to make a career out of building, before an opportunity arose through Auckland rugby. The conversation touches on his early days in rugby, his mentors, and his playing stint in France, as well as representing Samoa at the 2023 World Cup. He reflects on his family’s legacy, his impactful moments on the field, including insights on the haka and various World Cup moments.
