- Billy Vunipola in group who ignored physical distancing rules
- RFU to take no action over England No 8’s involvement
The England No 8 Billy Vunipola is among five Saracens players who have been forced to apologise for flouting physical-distancing rules during lockdown.
Vunipola and his teammates were spotted meeting together in St Albans for coffee on Monday, ignoring government guidelines to keep their distance. The former England full-back Alex Goode, Scotland’s Sean Maitland, Nick Isiekwe and Josh Ibuanokpe were the other players involved, prompting a damning rebuke from Saracens and reminder to quintet of their responsibilities.
