(Reuters) - England prop Mako Vunipola is yearning to make his long-awaited comeback in Saturday's World Cup warm-up match against Ireland after recovering form a hamstring injury that had sidelined him for three months.

Vunipola was injured in Saracens' Champions Cup final win over Leinster in May and the 28-year-old required surgery that ruled him out for the rest of the domestic season.
