SARACENS and England prop Mako Vunipola has received a four-match ban after being sent off against Premiership opponents Newcastle.
Vunipola was dismissed during the closing stages of Saturday’s encounter following a dangerous tackle on Newcastle hooker Bryan Byrne.
He will miss Saracens’ Premiership appointments with Leicester and Exeter, plus Champions Cup games against Bordeaux-Begles and Lyon.
