Charles Faumuina (born 24 December 1986) is a rugby union player who plays prop, for Blues in Super Rugby and New Zealand internationally. He is a key member of 2015 Rugby World Cup winning team.
As well as the Blues, Faumuina also plays for Auckland in the ITM Cup. His main position is tighthead prop but has also covered loosehead prop for the Blues.
Faumuina was a late recruit to rugby union, and played only rugby league until selected for the Papatoetoe High School 1st XV rugby team. His progress in rugby union was rapid and 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. 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.
