Wasps flanker Jack Willis has joined the England squad for the final Six Nations fixture with France in Paris on Saturday night.
Eddie Jones has named a 34-player squad for England’s Guinness Six Nations match against France this weekend.
Jack Willis returns to the squad for the first time following a knee injury sustained against Italy in the 2021 Guinness Six Nations.
On the return of Willis, Jones said: “He’s shown a lot of resilience and a lot of determination.
“I was really pleased watching him play his first 80 minutes vs Northampton yesterday.
“We know he is a player of great promise.
“He’s still only 23 years of age. To come back from such a difficult injury is a great testament to his resilience and I’m sure he’s going to add value to the squad.”

Tom Curry will miss the final week after injuring his hamstring during last weekend’s match against Ireland.
The returning Jack Willis could be an option for Jones.
“Jack is an option but I have to see him train tomorrow. If he trains well tomorrow then he could be an option,” he said.
England travel to Paris tomorrow ahead of Saturday’s game at the Stade de France (9pm CET KO).
