Mako Vunipola has been ruled out of the remainder of England’s Six Nations campaign with an ankle ligament injury.
The Saracens prop picked up the problem in England’s emphatic 44-8 win over France at Twickenham on Sunday, limping off early in the second half, and is expected to be out for around 10 weeks. He will return to Sarries in order to begin his rehabilitation.
“It is obviously very disappointing to lose Mako at this stage as he is an important player for us but it does provide an opportunity for the team to grow,” said England’s head coach, Eddie Jones.
England’s next opponents, Wales, also have injury problems with the No 8 Taulupe Faletau out after undergoing surgery on his broken arm.
