Saracens have confirmed that Billy and Mako Vunipola will leave the club at the end of the season while Gloucester have also announced that Jonny May is making his exit. All three have been England regulars over the past decade but are set to join the growing number of recent Test players in moving abroad in the summer.

The departure of the Vunipola brothers has been on the cards for a while with Billy, who was a replacement in Saracens’ win over Bristol last weekend in his first appearance since his arrest in Mallorca, set to join Montpellier. Mako has also been linked with a move to the same Top 14 club.
