Billy Vunipola and Maro Itoje return for Saracens in time for England Six Nations campaign

Saracens and England have received a double injury boost with the news Maro Itoje and Billy Vunipola are set to return to action on Sunday.

Number eight Vunipola has been sidelined with a knee injury since September, leading many to speculate about his availability for Six Nations.

Meanwhile Itoje, who broke his jaw a month ago, has also been named in Sarries’ starting XV to face Wasps at the Ricoh Arena.

Vunipola missed out on the British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand last summer and has not played for England side since their Six Nations defeat away to Ireland last March.
