Wasps flanker Jack Willis has been called into the England squad for their final Six Nations game in France, with Tom Curry ruled out of the Paris match.

Willis is included in Eddie Jones' 34-player training squad for the first time since injuring his knee in England's 2021 Six Nations campaign.

Prop Kyle Sinckler is in the group and will follow return-to-play protocols after being concussion on Saturday.

Uncapped back row Alfie Barbeary, also of Wasps, and 2019 World Cup flanker Sam Underhill, of Bath, are once again included.

Defeat against Ireland put England out of the title race and they travel to Grand Slam-chasing France seeking to end the championship on a high.
