The English Rugby Football Union will be meeting with Billy Vunipola to discuss a recent social media post where the England No 8 appeared to defend Israel Folau, who faces the sack by Australia over homophobic comments. We will be meeting with Billy to discuss his social media posts,” an RFU spokeswoman said. Vunipola’s club side, Saracens, have said they will deal with the matter internally. Vunipola ‘liked’ the post and then made further comments on social media on Friday. “So this morning I got three phone calls from people telling me to ‘unlike’ the @izzyfolau post,” Vunipola wrote.
