"Saracens prop Mako Vunipola has been ruled out for the rest of the season and will miss the remainder of his club's Premiership campaign," the RFU said in a statement.

"Vunipola's hamstring injury requires surgery and will take a minimum of three months to recover."

England play Wales on Aug. 11 and 17, Ireland on Aug. 24 and then face Italy in a final warm-up game on Sept. 6.

They kick off their World Cup Pool C campaign against Tonga on Sept. 22.
