Willis Shines as England`s Six Nations Hopefuls Emerge

Tom Willis delivered a standout performance in the latest round of Premiership action, earning the title of a `one-man wrecking ball` against Bristol. His two tries and impressive contributions in the tight have made a compelling case for his inclusion in the upcoming Six Nations squad.

Elliot Daly also showcased his return to form, demonstrating exceptional link play with teammates Fergus Burke and Alex Lozowski, which significantly contributed to his side's victory over Bristol. Meanwhile, Fin Smith of Northampton Saints had a mature outing, leading his team to a strong start against Bath and outshining Finn Russell with his attacking prowess. Smith's performance also elevated the play of teammates Tommy Freeman, Fraser Dingwall, and Rory Hutchinson.

Tommy Freeman was particularly impressive against Bath, displaying strong carrying ability through traffic and excellent aerial skills. Ollie Hassell-Collins of Leicester continued his impressive streak, scoring another try against Exeter, marking his fourth in three games, while also excelling in aerial contests. Tommy Wyatt of Exeter played a crucial role in his team's fightback against Leicester, scoring two tries and consistently posing a threat with the ball.

On the flip side, Harry Randall struggled in his performance, being outplayed by Ivan van Zyl, which may affect his standing in the Six Nations selection. Ben Earl had a quieter game, and with Tom Willis's stellar showing, Earl may find his position as England's number eight under pressure. Additionally, several England hopefuls, including Ollie Sleightholme, Raffi Quirke, Will Muir, Sam Underhill, and Jonny Hill, faced injuries that could hinder their chances for the Six Nations squad.
