They were teammates and roommates on the Lions tour to New Zealand two years ago, but it is unlikely Tadhg Furlong and Mako Vunipola will be reminiscing when they stand face-to-face before the first scrum in Saturday’s European Champions Cup final at St James’ Park.
Not that Vunipola, the Saracens and England prop, is much of a talker according to Furlong, Leinster’s Ireland tighthead. “I got on well with Mako, he’s a good craic,” he says. “I got stuck in a room with him a few times, which I enjoyed. Most of the time he was asleep so I did not get much chat out of him. He’s an horrendous snorer, so it can be tough that way with him.”
