Billy Vunipola insists he has a problem β€œknowing when to stop” as he explained the circumstances behind his drunken arrest in Majorca.

The England number eight issued a public apology after being fined 240 euros (Β£205) by an express trial for resisting the law having refused to leave a bar in Palma in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Saracens have issued a warning to Vunipola, who was tasered twice by Spanish police, over his behaviour, but he could yet be hit with a misconduct charge by the Rugby Football Union.

The 31-year-old revealed that he was drinking for the first time since August 2022 in anticipation that it would be his final team-bonding trip with Saracens due to his departure from the club this summer.

β€œMy issue is just not knowing when to stop and that’s probably why I stopped drinking for so long,” Vunipola told the Daily Mail.

β€œI’ve never really been a casual drinker. If I drink, I get to a place where I probably forget what I did.

β€œThat’s the reason why I had stopped and the reason why I had a drink last weekend was because it was my last ever trip with the boys and I wanted to really enjoy it. But obviously I went too far.

β€œI’ve been at the club for 11 years and I do silly things all the time, but they always seem to forgive me and accept me for who I am.

β€œI think that’s because they know that these things are in my personality, to kick out and rebel.”

Vunipola insisted he does not remember being asked by security to leave β€˜Epic’ bar after taking off his top, which resulted in the police being called, and denied any threatening behaviour to other revellers.

The 20-stone forward said a minor injury incurred by one of the police officers happened accidentally as he struggled while a zip tie was being placed around his hands.

Remarkably, video footage shows him standing unaffected by the first taser shot before succumbing to a second.

β€œI’ve got two marks on me. Someone told me those with more muscle get more affected by taser than those with a little bit more bedding! I guess I was lucky I had a bit more belly because I didn’t feel it as much!” he said.

β€œEven when I was on the ground, they were shocked that I still had the energy to fight them – well, not fight them, resist them, which is what I got done for.”
