His mother is from an area near West Ham in London and he also holds an English 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 right now, his club career is a different matter.

The Warriors are just six points above bottom-of-the-table club Bristol Rugby, who Pat Lam will be taking charge of at the end of the season.
"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," Te'o tells Sportsmail.Te'o shares his dismay over the Warriors' current plight and seems to suggest that there is a lack of direction and leadership at the club, who former Munster and Ireland international, Donnacha O'Callaghan also plies his trade:
"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. Polar-opposites would be an accurate description for the current status of Leinster and Worcester. Leinster are facing into a mouth-watering top-of-the-table clash against bitter rivals, Munster, while Worcester have to travel to Ashton Gate in a match which could prove crucial to the top-flight status of both clubs next season.
