Mako Vunipola misses England's match against Ireland as the prop flies back to Tonga for 'family reasons'
By Online Editors
England prop Mako Vunipola has been ruled out of Sunday’s Guinness Six Nations clash with Ireland for family reasons.
Vunipola has been left out of the 33-man training squad that will prepare for the round three fixture, with Beno Obano called up in his place.
“Mako Vunipola is not included as he has travelled back to Tonga for family reasons,” a Rugby Football Union statement read.
