Vunipola to miss 6 Nations

England number-eight Billy Vunipola will likely miss the Six Nations after suffering a knee injury in England’s win over Argentina on Saturday.

“Billy’s been absolutely fantastic for England over the last 11 months and we wish him a quick recovery,” Jones commented.

“...But where there is an injury there’s an opportunity for someone else.

“We’ve had five or six front line players missing throughout the series, so I’ve no doubt we’ll adapt and work that little bit harder this week. I’m sure the players will respond to this by going up a level and peak for this game.”

Vunipola will be out of action for at least three months.
