the season and sign a contract with French Top 14 side Bordeaux that will make
him ineligible for international selection.
<\/p>\n
He also spent the 2022\/23 season at Bordeaux after his former club Wasps
went into administration and had to pull out of the league.
<\/p>\n
His older brother, Jack Willis, who is also a back-rower, left Wasps at the
same time and has played for Toulouse ever since.
<\/p>\n
He won the French title with Toulouse last season and was named the Top 14
player of the season.
<\/p>\n
There is also no place in the England squad for Farrell, despite Borthwick
having injury issues at inside centre.<\/p>\n
The 34-year-old, who has 112 England caps, has featured at inside centre
for Saracens this season and played in midfield for the British and Irish
Lions in the summer.
<\/p>\n
Noah Caluori, the 19-year-old who scored five tries for Saracens in
Saturday’s thumping win over Sale, has been included in the squad as an
additional player as part of a development agreement with the English Prem
club.
<\/p>\n
The squad assembled on Sunday for the training camp at England’s
performance centre at Pennyhill Park.
<\/p>\n
England host Australia at Twickenham on November 1 before matches against
Fiji, New Zealand and Argentina.<\/p>\n
