His mother is from an area near West Ham in London and he holds a British passport, so for him, it was never a difficult decision to make.
Te'o made his debut for England in their win over South Africa at Twickenham a few weeks ago but although he is very proud and happy with how his international career is proceeding, his club career is a different matter.
The Warriors are just six points above bottom-of-the-table club Bristol Rugby. Speaking to The Daily Mail, Te'o said:
"I never envisaged being in this survival battle, I thought this was a club that had come up, would stay up and really kick on. That's what I thought; top eight, top four then grand finals. It's not really been what I thought it would be.
"It's hard to put my finger on it. Leadership from the top down? I don't know which direction the club's going. The standard of players? We probably don't have the quality. Honestly, we've got some good players but we probably need to add."It's definitely a change of scenery for Te'o and although he needed a move to the Premiership to fulfil his ambition of playing for England, it would not be surprising if he thought he should have stayed with Leinster for another year.
