Jack Willis
Jack Willis, a try scorer on his debut against Georgia in November 2020, made an impact in his first three Test appearances spanning three months.A powerful scavenger for possession, he learned the game at Reading Abbey RFC and joined the Wasps Senior Academy from Henley College, Berkshire for the 2015/16 season. Willis scored again for his country in England's 2021 Six Nations tie against Italy at Twickenham and featured in Eddie Jones' squad for the 2022 Autumn Nations Series. A move to Toulouse led to the flanker featuring in the side that won the Top 14 title with the club following his inclusion in the 2023 Guinness Six Nations. Recently, Willis was named in Steve Borthwick’s squad for the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.

What is a Back Row?
The back row consists of two flankers and the No 8. The blind-side flanker wears six and the open-side flanker seven, both specialising in big tackles and winning possession through turnovers. They are fearless, strong and fast to the breakdown. The No 8 secures the ball at the base of the scrum, is an attacking link between forwards and backs and a real force when defending.
