England fans devastated by Mako Vunipola injury

After the news emerged that Mako Vunipola has been ruled out of the rest of the Six Nations with an ankle injury, England fans flooded onto Twitter to show their disappointment.

The prop has been sensational for England so far this championship, and has shown how pivotal he is to the team after missing the Autumn. He is one of the best loosehead props in the world at the moment and is integral to England’s attack.

It is not only his power that makes him such a threat to opposing defences, but his deft hands, which means defenders struggle to read what he is going to do. The way he links with other forwards and his fly-half Owen Farrell is a major basis for England’s attack, and something that no other prop offers. His workrate is also major asset, shown by him topping the tackle count against Ireland and almost playing the entire 80 minutes- earning him the Man-of-the-Match award. Furthermore, his scrummaging has got much stronger in recent months, which was always deemed to be his weakness. The list seems to be unending as to why he is critical to England.

His loss will be immeasurable, and while Ben Moon is a very strong scrummager, and Ellis Genge is a devastating ball carrier, neither possesses the complete array of skills that Vunipola has, and Eddie Jones will know this.

The fans are rightfully distressed over this news, particularly with the huge clash with Wales on the horizon. Many have highlighted how crucial the Saracen has been to England, and have rightfully identified him as one of England’s best players.

With the World Cup at the end of the year, some fans have stressed that the main objective will be to have the 28-year-old fit for the showcase in Japan. But in the intervening time, England and Saracens will suffer. The prop will miss Sarries’ Champions Cup quarter-final with Glasgow at the end of March, and could well miss their semi-final in April should they get that far. But for now, England will miss him most.

This is what the fans have to say:

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
