England number eight Billy Vunipola has been fined 240 euros (£205) following an incident in Majorca on Sunday in which he was arrested.

BBC Sport understands the 31-year-old was Tasered by police in the early hours of Sunday morning in Palma, the capital of the Spanish island, and subsequently charged with "resisting the law".

While the police investigation is now closed, Saracens, Vunipola's club, say they will deal with the matter "internally".

Vunipola says the incident was an "unfortunate misunderstanding" and he will cooperate with Saracens' internal investigation.
