"Rugby Star's Controversial Run-In with Police in Majorca: What Really Happened?"

 He was then taken to nearby Son Espases Hospital. Newspaper reports showed video footage of him being led from a police van into a local police station.


Vunipola issued a statement on Monday confirming the incident and apologising “for any inconvenience to all involved”. He said: “I can confirm I was involved in an unfortunate misunderstanding when I was leaving a club in Majorca on Sunday, which got out of hand.


“Contrary to media reports there was no violence, no fight and I did not threaten anybody at any stage, with bottles or chairs or anything else. I was charged with resisting the law and, following an ‘express trial’, I have paid a fine of €240.


“The Spanish police investigation is now closed and I am flying back to the UK today. I will obviously co-operate with the Saracens internal process and unreservedly apologise for any inconvenience to all involved.”


A spokesman for the National Police in Majorca said: “In the early hours of yesterday morning, at 4.30am, we arrested a 31-year-old foreign man on suspicion of a crime of disobedience and assaulting a police officer. The events took place in a leisure establishment on the seafront in Palma, when a man was causing altercations inside the establishment.


“The man would not listen to reason and confronted the rest of the customers, and the security staff were unable to restrain him or remove him from the premises. The police were alerted and the officers, on seeing the man, who was shirtless and making gestures with his hands, cleared the premises.


“It was then that he confronted the police and attempted to assault the officers. The police officers tried at all times to get him to calm down, but the man would not listen to reason. At that moment, the man pushed and slapped an officer and a policeman pulled out his electric stun gun and fired a first time although the gun didn’t discharge.


“A second projectile was then fired, which did the job, and it was then that the officers jumped on him and proceeded to immobilise him by shackling him, later taking him to Son Espases hospital for assessment and arrest.”


In a statement on Monday, Saracens said: “Saracens is aware of an incident involving Billy Vunipola in Majorca. We will of course deal with this incident internally, and will not make any further comment until then.”

The Manchester Evening News described their AO Arena show on May 7 as a shift from the theatrics of previous tours, delivering a real emotional punch. Fans can anticipate impressive staging, pyrotechnics, and a set list that includes both old favorites and new tracks from their This Life album, released last year.

"Unbelievable Comeback: Saints Dominate in Thrilling Women's Final at Wembley!"

Image
  This was the 12th women's final since the competition began in 2012, but only the second time it was held at Wembley. After Leeds had a try disallowed, it took 24 minutes to break the deadlock when Faye Gaskin scored the game's first points. Against the run of play, the defending champions found an opportunity 10 yards out, and Saints' half-back maneuvered through weak challenges to score near the posts. Gaskin converted the try, adding two points. Six minutes later, Saints scored again when Phoebe Hook crossed the line in the right corner, though Gaskin's conversion attempt fell short. Leading 10-0 at halftime, Saints extended their dominance five minutes into the second half when Luci McColm finished off a well-executed passing move to score near the left corner, with Gaskin adding another two points. Leeds, winners in 2018 and 2019 before Saints' recent dominance, fought hard to avoid becoming the first team to be 'nilled' in the women's final since...
