LONDON (Reuters) - England number eight Billy Vunipola is set to play against Scotland at Twickenham on Saturday and could well start the Six Nations clash after making a fast-track recovery from a knee problem.

Vunipola suffered the injury in November and was expected to miss the entire Six Nations but he played most of the match for his club Gloucester against Newcastle on Sunday and suffered no after-effects.
