(Reuters) - Mako Vunipola has vowed to fight his way back into England head coach Eddie Jones' plans ahead of next year's Six Nations and World Cup after the prop spent more than two months out of action with a calf injury.

The 27-year-old missed all four of England's November internationals, with Exeter Chiefs front-row duo Ben Moon and Alec Hepburn starting two tests apiece as the side won three of the matches.
