Big Billy out of Lions tour

Billy Vunipola has withdrawn from the British & Irish Lions tour to New Zealand due to an ongoing shoulder injury.
The Saracens No.8 had been managing the injury which now requires further medical treatment.
Wasps and England back row James Haskell will join the squad next Sunday following the Aviva Premiership Final.
Head Coach Warren Gatland said: “It is really disappointing for Billy and we know how much he was looking forward to joining the squad. He has been carrying an injury and feels he wouldn’t be able to contribute fully to the Tour and needs further medical treatment.
“We really appreciate his honesty in making this decision and wish him luck with his recovery.
“We have called up James to the squad, we wish him all the best next weekend and look forward to welcoming him into camp before we depart.”
