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 say France was far more hard done by in the 2011 final than the All Blacks in this game. Joubert simply refused to call a penalty against the All Blacks in the last quarter even directing an All Black to drop a ball he picked up in an offside position rather than penalizing him. This article also totally discounts the efforts of PSTD. Ask Jordie how well he played. Or the backup flank who played hooker for the entire game. Siya was also a brilliant tackle by Richie from scoring a blinder. Pollard was also fantastic. Look I don’t like the boks style but the only thing more questionable than the content of this article is the timing of it. Get over it already
