Billy’s on front foot

RUGBY UNION

BILLY VUNIPOLA has been backed to forget his Lions snub and take the Premiership by storm this weekend.

Vunipola missed out when Warren Gatland preferred Jack Conan, Taulupe Faletau and Sam Simmonds.

But ahead of Sarries’ game at Bristol on Friday, director of rugby Mark Mccall said: “He has got the bit between his teeth and he is as fit as I have seen him for a long time.”
