England rugby teams suffers blow

England is in the final preparation for the 2023 Six Nations tournament. With only a week to go before they start their tournament against Scotland. The first match will be a home match at Twickenham Stadium. A week before they play the first match, Jacks Willis left the England camp. In this article we discuss the tough preparation for this excited tournament.

Jack Willis

Willis joined Toulouse in November but despite Rugby Football Union regulations stating that players based outside England are unavailable for selection, an exception was made for those who had moved away from the Premiership after the demises of Wasps and Worcester. Under the Professional Game Agreement, England have full access to players for a training camp this week but as he is based in France, Willis’s involvement finishes on Thursday because the official international Test window has not yet begun. Willis is understood to be in contention to start against Scotland so his temporary departure is unwelcome.

Injuries

England manager Steve Borthwick hasn’t got the best preparation for a huge tournament. The absence of Jack Willis comes on top of several injuries. Courtney Lawes, Jamie George, Elliot Daly and George McGuigan all dropped out of the squad in recent weeks due to injuries. Now it’s a matter of getting absolutely everything out of the available players. The advantage for England is they start against Scotland. A match that should be doable for the England team. If they can go off to a good start, it will help them to grow in the tournament. England Six Nations tickets are still available for avid rugby fans.
