The Rugby Football Union has given Billy Vunipola a formal warning following his drunken arrest in Mallorca.
In a statement, the RFU said it had reviewed the information Saracens provided following their investigation into the incident and believe a formal warning is the “most appropriate course of action.”
“We have also considered the apologies Billy has provided, his clear contrition and the circumstances around the incident,” the RFU said.
“This warning will sit on his record for five years and may be relied upon in future disciplinary proceedings.
“It has been made clear to Billy that as a senior and respected player, such actions risk bringing the game as a whole into disrepute. In particular, such actions clearly go against the core values of rugby which collectively the sport works hard to promote.”
