VIDEO: Loosehead Flop: Mako Vunipola leaps from diving board...lands face first
By Jack Davies
Saracens star, England international and a British and Irish Lion - Mako Vunipola's qualities as a rugby player are not in doubt.
But the skills of a rugby player do not naturally lend themselves to the art of diving, particularly those of a loosehead prop.
And Vunipola emphatically proved that point when he bravely launched himself from a springboard, completing one full rotation before landing face first on the water.
Saracens shared the moment on Twitter for all the world to enjoy...
Somewhat more graceful was this effort earlier in the week. Passing practice on the diving boards!

I'd rate the brothers Hendricks a point or two lower. Jaden has really not delivered on his early promise and Jordan's kicking at posts was quite erratic. Amongst other things.
I was really surprised that DuhDuh was replaced and not Jordan. DuhDuh had a great game and just underlined his class in a backline that was not firing on all cylinders.
Damian Willemse was missed. Hopefully he'll be back to full fitness and have an injury free 2025 (and '26 and '27 and so on until he decides to retire to spend time with his grandchildren).
RG was great. What an athlete.
Very happy that Hanekom made his debut at last. He gave a good account of himself and will hopefully grow into his role on the international stage.
All things considered, this was another frustrating Bok performance. Even though it was a comfortable win, it wasn't a commanding win. This Welsh team should've been put away by a far larger margin.
But I have faith in Dr Rassie. He knows more than I do. Bring on 2027 😁
