Saracens Star Tom Willis to Leave for France, Ending England Eligibility
The move marks a growing trend of English rugby players pursuing opportunities abroad.
Saracens number eight Tom Willis has announced he will move to a French club next season, a decision that makes him ineligible to represent England under current Rugby Football Union rules.
The 25-year-old’s departure follows similar moves by several top English players seeking financial stability and career opportunities in France’s Top 14 league.
Rugby analysts say the exodus could prompt a review of England’s selection policies.
