RFU Issues Warning to Vunipola Following Majorca Arrest.

England and Saracens' star player, Billy Vunipola, recently got a serious talking-to from the Rugby Football Union after he was arrested in Majorca last month.

The BBC learned that Vunipola got Tasered by Spanish police and then charged with "resisting the law." 

The Rugby Football Union (RFU) reminded Billy that, being a senior player, such actions could harm the reputation of the entire sport. This warning will stay on his record for five years. 

He was fined 240 euros (£205) for the incident in Palma on April 28. 

Saracens also warned him after their own investigation. The RFU acknowledged his apologies and remorse but still issued a formal warning. 

Vunipola called it a misunderstanding and apologized to everyone involved.
