Double trouble.

Saracens boss Mark McCall has named both Maro Itoje and Billy Vunipola in his starting line-up for this weekend’s heavyweight Premiership clash with Wasps.

Vunipola has been out since September with a knee problem, and was forced to undergo surgery. His return is much sooner than expected, with initial fears he would miss the start of the Six Nations.

A very special British & Irish Lions House of Rugby show – fronted by Sean O'Brien and Alex Goode – is available now and will run for the duration of the tour. Follow and subscribe to it HERE

Itoje meanwhile has also made a quicker recovery than expected after breaking his jaw last month. Initial fears also stated he may miss the start of the Six Nations.
