The rumours that eight-cap England international flanker Jack Willis is top of Bristol Bears shopping list ahead of next season continue to persist as Pat Lam looks to freshen up his back-row.
Willis, 26, is currently playing his club rugby in Toulouse having been made redundant when Wasps went into administration back in September. Bristol were strongly linked with trying to sign the then jobless turnover king in the Autumn but were unable to match Willis’ salary expectations within the reduced £5m baseline salary cap in the Gallagher Premiership.
