Mako Vunipola returns to England's training camp ahead of Six Nations clash against Wales

Saracens prop Mako Vunipola has been included in England's 34-man training squad ahead of the fourth round of the Six Nations clash against Wales to be played at Twickenham Stadium on 7th March.

Vunipola missed the Six Nations games against Ireland and Scotland as he left to Tonga for family reasons and has now headed to England's Surrey training base where he will compete with Joe Marler and Ellis Genge.
