Number 8 Tom Willis bounces off defenders, an absolute wrecking ball of a run for Wasps against Worcester.
Here, we look at four exciting options who Eddie Jones could call-up to his Six Nations squad to replace the injured Jack Willis.

1. Sam Simmonds

  • Club: Exeter Chiefs
  • Age: 26
The European player of the year, who has scored 11 Premiership tries so far this season, should find his way back into Jones’ squad in the near future. He's been sensational.

2. Alex Dombrandt

  • Club: Harlequins
  • Age: 23
A player that does provide the weight at the back of the scrum that Jones wants to see is Harlequins’ Alex Dombrandt, but the 23-year-old has not been able to convince the Australian to give him a run out despite being called up in the Autumn.

3. Ted Hill

  • Club: Worcester Warriors
  • Age: 21
The 21-year-old Worcester skipper is clearly a player Jones has earmarked for the future, and offers a huge amount in the No6 shirt. Thus far, he has not yet been able to make the step up from being a prospect since making his debut as a teenager against Japan in 2018.

4. Zach Mercer

  • Club: Bath RFC
  • Age: 23
With his move to Montpellier next season confirmed, it's pretty unlikely that the back-rower will get a recall. Mercer’s display against Sale Sharks in both attack and defence showed exactly what he's made of. In attack, he made a total of 91 metres going forward from 10 carries beating two defenders in the process, while defensively he made 20 tackles to round off a strong performance for the 23-year-old.
