The 30-year-old third row must serve a three-week ban for a high tackle made in a friendly against Ireland. He joins captain and kicker Owen Farrell, who has been suspended for four games.
England third row Billy Vunipola is suspended for making a high tackle and will miss his debut match The Cougars on Saturday, September 9 in Marseille for the group stage world of France. This added to the penalty suffered by its captain and kicker, Owen Farrellfor another dangerous game.
The rose lost another major player for the clash against Selection of Argentina. The 30 year old forward formed the team that got runner-up in the last edition, Japan 2019, and this is the naturally only eighth among those summoned. world rugby confirmed a suspension for three weeks by the tackle above the line of the shoulders to Andrew Porter in a friendly match Ireland.
At first, the referee of the match advised him, but at the request of the TMO, he was sent off. Something similar happened with the number of weeks the punishment would last. Initially it was for six, which would have prevented him from playing the entire first phase of the World Cup. “After identifying mitigating factors, including his exemplary record, his prompt apology, remorse, and noting the absence of any aggravating factors, the committee narrowed him down to three.”the statement of confederation is disputed.
Vunipola will miss the final test match against Fiji, debut against Argentina and likely to return against Japansubstituting one week of punishment for one participating in training aimed at changing specific techniques that contribute to foul play (CIP, for its acronym in English). for his part Farrell, suspended for four games, he still needs to be three without playing and cannot request that special request before the Japanese because he already enjoyed this rare benefit in February of this year.
