Mako Vunipola available for England’s Six Nations opener despite four-match ban
Mako Vunipola available for England’s Six Nations opener despite four-match banBy Andrew Baldock, PA Rugby Union CorrespondentSaracens and England prop Mako Vunipola has received a four-match ban after being sent off against Gallagher Premiership opponents Newcastle. Vunipola was dismissed during the closing stages of Saturday’s encounter following a dangerous tackle on Newcastle hooker Bryan Byrne. Vunipola, though, will be available for England’s Guinness Six Nations opener against Italy in Rome on February 3 if head coach Steve Borthwick decides to recall him. And that could prove timely, given current injuries to England’s three World Cup squad loosehead props Ellis Genge, Joe Marler and Bevan Rodd.

According to the files, she was recruited by an StB agent posted to London who met her at a cocktail party in the mid-1980s. The Daily Mail writes that security experts believe it to be the first known case of an agent from a foreign intelligence agency infiltrating the BBC since the start of the Cold War.

Parties ‘speaking out of both sides of their mouths on nitrates derogation’
Ms Cairns criticised opposition parties for not having a clear position on the nitrates derogation for Ireland and took aim at the Government for not preparing for the exemption being removed entirely. “For example, one of the votes people use all the time is the farming vote, and that debate in particular is something that I find very frustrating. “Like this whole debate with the nitrates derogation, since I got elected I’ve been saying to the Government, why are you continuing to extend the nitrates derogation when you’re walking farmers to a cliff edge, and eventually it’s going to have to go. “That’s not a realistic position, that’s just speaking out of both sides of your mouth. So I think that’s the main difference.”
