England prop Mako Vunipola is in self-isolation as a precaution due to coronavirus fears after flying back
from Tonga via Hong Kong.


He was set to link up with Eddie Jones’ squad on Monday for a training camp, with a view to featuring in
Saturday’s Six Nations match against Wales.


However, the 29-year-old did not join the rest of the squad and is now expected to miss the remainder of
the tournament after being advised to self-isolate for 14 days under the current NHS guidelines.
