British Queen celebrates

 

England rugby player Billy Vunipola found himself in hot water after being arrested in Majorca following an altercation at a pub in Spain.

Vunipola's club, Saracens, acknowledged the incident involving the player and stated they would address the matter internally.

Reports indicate that the 31-year-old was allegedly tasered twice by police after being involved in an incident at a bar in Palma, Majorca's capital, during the early hours of Sunday morning.

Following his arrest, Vunipola appeared in court on Sunday and has since been released on bail pending further investigation.

Vunipola, who is expected to depart Saracens at the end of the current season, has been linked with a move to France, although no official confirmation has been made.

With 75 England caps to his name, Vunipola made his Test debut against Argentina in 2013 but is not currently part of the England squad.

The incident occurred just days after Vunipola made a second-half appearance for Saracens in their 15-12 victory over Bath, as the club vies for a sixth league title in the last decade in the Gallagher Premiership. With only two rounds of regular season games remaining before the playoffs, Saracens are currently positioned second in the league standings. Photo by Clément Bucco-Lechat, Wikimedia commons.
