Billy Vunipola has been recalled by England as the solution to the team's crisis at No 8 for next month's three test series against the Wallabies.

Injuries to England loose forwards Alex Dombrand and Sam Simmonds opened the door for Vunipola to make the 36-man Squad to tour Australia.

Vunipola last played for England during the 2021 Six Nations.

The Wallabies will host England on the 2nd, 9th, and 16th of July.
