Veteran England prop Mako Vunipola has announced his retirement from international rugby.

In a post on his Instagram account, Vunipola says it has been an honour representing England but all good things must come to an end.

Vunipola says there have been lots of highs and lows and the time has come to step away now from international rugby.

Vunipola has a total of 79 international caps for England and 9 caps for the British and Irish Lions.

The 32-year-old missed last year’s Rugby World Cup in France because of back surgery but was expected to be involved in the upcoming Six Nations but has decided that it is time to hang up his boots.
