 Tom Willis is having a phenomenal season so far.

Dombrandt and Simmonds get the headlines as they roll off big runs in the wider channels but the sheer volume and variety of work Willis gets through is incredible.

Lol was particularly complementary about tom. referring to his England age group leadership and ability to play to such a high standard so young (for a fwd esp)

I got the clear impression that Lol wanted him left out of England senior contention until after the next RWC and to then perhaps form part of the future.

Any idea what the most amount of tackles made in a game by a Premiership side?
Just wondering if we might be up there today.

I selfishly hope Willis flies under Jones's radar. He's a fantastic player and I want him playing for us for the foreseeable. England have plenty of inferior 8's such as Simmonds, Hughes etc to toy with before they realise Tom and Dombrandt are the two best they have - and that's excluding Shields!!

251 total by wasps today apparently, more than in 2 other games today combined
