HUGE England Rugby Star Laughed as Spanish Police Taser Him TWICE

"You Wouldn't Mess With Him!"....
This is the moment England rugby international Billy Vunipola laughs after police try to taser him in a Majorcan late-night bar.
Witnesses told today how the 6ft 2in 20-stone giant appeared unphased by the first stun gun shot, although police admitted today it hadn't discharged, and was only knocked to the ground when police fired at him a second time.
Vunipola, 31, was arrested and taken to hospital by ambulance with a police guard following the drama in the early hours of Sunday morning at Epic bar in the island capital Palma.
He was later hauled in front of a judge for questioning. He was released on conditional bail pending an ongoing probe following his court appearance. In a statement on Monday morning, Vunipola said:
“I can confirm I was involved in an unfortunate misunderstanding when I was leaving a club in Mallorca on Sunday, which got out of hand,” he said in a statement. “Contrary to media reports, there was no violence, no fight and I did not threaten anybody at any stage, with bottles or chairs or anything else.
“I was charged with resisting the law and, following an 'express trial', I have paid a fine of 240 euros. The Spanish police investigation is now closed, and I am flying back to the UK today. I will obviously cooperate with the Saracens internal process and unreservedly apologise for any inconvenience to all involved.”
Billy Vunipola has 75 caps for England
