- No 8 ‘very close’ to facing Wales after being out since April
- Owen Farrell: ‘If we’re under radar, we’ll use it to our advantage’
Steve Borthwick has backed Billy Vunipola to power up England’s World Cup campaign with his captain, Owen Farrell, insisting “going under the radar” in France can work in his side’s favour.
Vunipola has been out of action since April with a knee injury but is closing in on a much-needed return on Saturday as England seek to get their campaign back on track after a disappointing defeat by Wales last weekend.
