Saracens have received the 19-stone boost of a fit-again Mako Vunipola
with the England prop returning for his first match in more than two
months to start Saturday’s Heineken Champions Cup semi-final against
Munster Rugby.
The elder Vunipola brother has not played since limping out of England’s Six Nations dismantling of France in February with damaged ankle ligaments, but he returns to start in a squad that also includes captain Brad Barritt and Owen Farrell.
Barritt has overcome an ankle injury of his own suffered late in the
quarter-final victory over Glasgow Warriors three weeks ago, while
Farrell was rested from last weekend’s Premiership defeat by Bristol
Bears.
The elder Vunipola brother has not played since limping out of England’s Six Nations dismantling of France in February with damaged ankle ligaments, but he returns to start in a squad that also includes captain Brad Barritt and Owen Farrell.
Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall has also elected to start Mako’s
younger brother Billy Vunipola despite the England No 8 being warned by
both his club and the Rugby Football Union this week for his
controversial support of Israel Folau. The Australian has been sacked
after a string of homophobic messages on social media was found to have
committed a “high-level breach of the Professional Players’ Code of
Conduct”, but Vunipola landed himself in trouble when he posted a
message on Instagram supporting Folau for his religious views and adding
that “man was created for woman to procreate”.
Vunipola accepted his warnings from club and country but the post
remains on his social media account, though his selection has not been
jeopardised by the disciplinary action. After he was booed when coming
off the bench against Bristol last weekend it remains to be seen what
reception he receives on Saturday at the Ricoh Arena.
Saracens face a Munster side who are looking to gain revenge for their
semi-final defeat against the same opposition two years ago, but they
will do so without Ireland international Keith Earls.
The wing has failed in his bid to overcome a thigh injury this week and
his place goes to Darren Sweetnam, adding to an injury list that also
includes Irish fly-half Joey Carbery.
In total, Munster boss Johaan van Graan has made 12 changes to the
rotated side that beat Benetton last weekend, which will be led by
flanker Peter O’Mahony as he notches up his 50th Champions Cup
appearance – all of which have been starts – along with Saracens’ George
Kruis.
