Charles Faumuina (born 24 December 1986 in South Auckland, New Zealand) is a rugby union player who plays Prop.

Career

Faumuina plays for Auckland in the Air New Zealand Cup and for Blues in the Super 14. He also represents Otahuhu in the Auckland club competition. His main position is tighthead prop but has also covered loosehead prop for the Blues.

Faumuina was a late recruit to rugby union, playing only rugby league up until his selection for the Papatoetoe High School 1st XV rugby team.[1] His progress in rugby union was so rapid that in 2007 he was selected to make his first-class rugby debut for the New Zealand Colts against Canada. The same year he made his debut for Auckland as a substitute against the Counties Manukau Steelers in the Air New Zealand Cup.[2] On 7 March 2009, Faumuina made his Super Rugby debut against the Sharks when international prop John Afoa was ruled out through injury.

In 2011, due to extended injury layoff to Tony Woodcock, Faumuina started the majority of games for the Blues in a successful season.
