Saracens have confirmed that England prop Mako Vunipola has undergone surgery on an ankle injury he suffered against Leicester Tigers.
It is expected that he will return to action in 8-10 weeks.
Meanwhile, Owen Farrell could be back in the mix the same week of the high-profile March 26 Saracens game at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium versus Bristol in the Gallagher Premiership. In the meantime, it has been speculated that Farrell could potentially give a hand coaching his team.
“Well, when he decides to be a coach, if that is the area he moves down, he is going to be very, very good at it,” said Shaw.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
