Jack Willis is due to be released by England on Thursday to return to his club, Toulouse, and will miss the rest of the current Six Nations training camp, meaning further disruption for the new coach Steve Borthwick as he prepares his side for their championship opener against Scotland in 10 days.
Borthwick has this week seen Courtney Lawes, Jamie George, Elliot Daly and George McGuigan ruled out of the camp through injury and must make do without the 26-year-old openside flanker for the final part of the five-day get-together.
