billy vunipola blunder

It hasn't been a good day for Saracen's No. 8 Billy Vunipola. With the Watford based franchise travelling up to Milton Keynes to play Northampton in a big Premiership game, Vunipola didn't have the best of times in his 39 minutes on the pitch.

With Saracens controlling the early exchanges, and putting a lot of pressure on Northampton outhalf Stephen Myler, Vunipola capitalised on Myler's long wind-up as he kicks to charge down.

It looked like a perfect opportunity to score:

Unfortunately there is no other angle available, but the TMO declared that Vunipola had inexplicably knocked the ball on inches from the line as he dove on the hard ground.

It's nowhere near as bad as this bombed try, but it's still not great.

It got worse for Vunipola as he went off injured before half time, before Northampton mounted a comeback to win 25-20 showing how costly that missed try was.
