England’s preparations for their Guinness Six Nations game with Wales have suffered a set-back with Mako Vunipola officially ruled out of the rest of the tournament.

Vunipola started the competition impressively, picking up a man-of-the-match award in their opening game with Ireland at the Aviva, a 32-20 win.

He sustained the injury during England’s 44-8 win over France at Twickenham on Sunday, coming off in the 44th minute.

In a statement the RFU said “Following medical assessments Mako Vunipola (Saracens) has been ruled out of England’s Guinness Six Nations campaign with an ankle ligament injury.

“Vunipola picked up the injury during England’s win against France on Sunday and is expected to be out for 10 weeks.

“The England prop will begin his rehabilitation with his club Saracens.

England head coach Eddie Jones said: “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.”

But Vunipola’s absence will be a huge loss, he is ranked as the world’s number one loosehead prop in the RugbyPass Index with an RPI of 90.

Vunipola also missed the entire autumn series due to a calf strain.

It means that it’s likely to be a battle between Exeter’s Ben Moon and Leicester’s Ellis Genge for the shirt. Both players have made one appearance off the bench in this season’s Six Nations.

England will assemble in central London on Wednesday lunchtime for a three-day camp ahead of their next match against Wales on the 23rd February in Cardiff.

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.
