#2. Mako Vunipola
Age: 32
Position: Loosehead-prop
Caps: 71
The veteran loose-head had a lackluster performance when coming off the bench against the Scots.
With competition from Sale Sharks’ promising Bevan Rodd and seasoned scrummager Joe Marler, Vunipola will aim to make a more significant impact if the game is close.
If England suffers its first-ever loss to Italy and Vunipola fails to make a positive impact, it may spell the end for the experienced Sarries player.
Fun fact: Vunipola is the nephew of former international players Manu and ‘Elisi Vunipola, who both represented Tonga in the 1990s.
