So how much “high calibre” training would have happened between his call up and release? Easy. None.
FWIW: As we played on Sunday, Monday would have been a rest day for Jack if he'd been with us.

You have such a charming style of communication. Very unique. Anyway, I do believe they had a training session on Monday, before flying to Paris for a (World Cup-getting to know the city) type preparation yesterday.On Monday there seems to have been a focus on tackle technique...and it would make sense to have Jack there acting as opposition, in preparation for the intensity of the French.As England coach (and knowing the backlash he's going to get if we lose again)...if you can call on people like Jack, why wouldn't you? Even for a day. "You're only as good as the people you train against" (is that a thing? It sounds kind of right). https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/article-10617503/England-focus-tackling-bid-avoid-red-card-nightmare-against-France.html
