England have lost the services of a second British & Irish Lions forward for the Guinness Six Nations clash with Wales at the Principality Stadium on Saturday, 23 February.

The match-up between the only two remaining unbeaten sides in the tournament had already lost Saracens lock Maro Itoje and now his clubmate, prop Mako Vunipola, has been ruled out as well.

“Following medical assessments Mako Vunipola has been ruled out of England’s Guinness Six Nations campaign with an ankle ligament injury. Vunipola picked up the injury during England’s win against France on Sunday and is expected to be out for 10 weeks,” said a statement from the England camp.

England head coach Eddie Jones will now have to decide who to star at loose head prop as his side looks to secure a third successive bonus-point victory.

“It is obviously very disappointing to lose Mako at this stage as he is an important player for us but it does provide an opportunity for the team to grow,” said Jones.

England  assemble in central London on Wednesday for a three-day camp ahead of the game against Wales.
