Whilst he may not yet have a sobriquet in France, Jack is certainly making a splash in the french sports press. L'equipe (the daily, very respected, sports newspaper) and Midi Olympique (the weekly rugby specialist newspaper) both rated his performance 9/10 in the European Cup Final and the Top14 Final (the same as Dupont and joint top). What they both noted was that Jack's game has improved in 2023/24 in that, in addition to being a tackling and jackaling machine, he is running much more with the ball, and very effectively too. In the Top14 Final he made 16 runs, as many as Dupont, and for and for approx 70 meters in total! One can only imagine what skill he will add to his panoply next season, perhaps no look passes a la Mauvaca? An incredible player who is genuinely changing Toulouse's perception of English players (there was Rob Andrews but even worse Toby Flood!). At this rate he'll become the new Dusautoir. If only he were eligible to play for France. We'd have him straight into the French XV, no questions asked.
What's got me is that he speaks french fluently. I guess he learnt it since he arrived in Toulouse to better understand his partners on the field and also Mola's (and coaches) game instructions. Talented, hardworker, humble and smart. Definitively a top player.
I'm french (and Toulousain), i wish he could play for Les Bleus one day, but tbh he deserves 1000 times to wear ''le XV de La Rose" jersey. England board, change your stupid rule.
Jack Willis is loved and respected so much in France, i just hope he could play both for Toulouse and England, he deserves it. Such a nice block.
In Toulouse we have a new legend to scare kids:
"If you forget your ball in the garden, at night Jackal Willis will come to counter ruck it."
what a lad, how could you not want this guy in the England camp
Similar to Steffon Armitage, Jack Willis broke the record for most turnovers in a single Premiership season, and he only got better playing in France. I just hope that we get to see him in an English jersey.
When my French father in law checks the team sheet and is pleased to see Jack starting you know that he must be doing something right. There was even a hopeful question of whether he could one day start for France. Bonne continuation à Toulouse!
You can ask a lot of fans, not just ST fans, and I think we can all agree that we would love England to abolish their silly law and cap this marvelous player, he fully deserves it. What a player !
As an Irish supporter I'd say Jack Willis is the best 7 playing rugby at the moment.
French Rugby fan here : I have read in a Newspaper few days ago that Willis is the second english rugby player (Wilko being the first one) a french Rugby fan is allowed to like 😅
What a player 😱 full support from 🇫🇷🇫🇷🥖🥖
Toulouse fan here, jack is such a great player and seems to be an even greater guy! he is already part of the toulouse family 😁
What a player ! As a french and toulouse fan i hope he will play for England too and soon....
again you mean!
@@iamnutty8471 of course !
What a top bloke Jack Willis is!!
Jacques Ouilisse. Now eligible for France. Easy.
Amazing lad, so lucky to have him out here in Toulouse
Toulouse is known as a "big familly" club. Sofiane Guitoune, centre for his last season as player, joins the staff as physiologist and fitness trainer. There are sons of former players in the current team, including Josha Brennan, maybe in 20 years Jack's son and daughter will play for Stade Toulousain. He may not have a permanent nickname yet, but the rugby press calls him a "shears" or a "steamroller".
Why is he not playing for England my word he's good!
overseas based player! england dont have a cap rule to allow overseas based players anymore! which is kind of good since their team was almost unchanged from 2012-2023!
Toutes.mes félicitations Jack! You are a hero for us now!
What a boy. Go well Jack.
Chers amis anglais vous faites une grande erreur de ne pas sélectionner Jack Willis dans le xv de la rose.
Nous à Toulouse on l'adore. Il a beaucoup apporté à l'équipe et il se sent bien à Toulouse avec sa famille. Merci Jack.
The boy has done well, Blair as well
Frenchie de Toulouse, Jack s’est vite intégré, et nous aimons cela. Il a l’air de prendre énormément de plaisir et si sa défense est fabuleuse, on le voit de plus en plus porté le ballon; il gagne en compétence et cela fait parti de l’adn du stade, regarder Mailla cette saison, on l’à vu passez en 10, être buteur, jamais il n’avais fait cela, Jack suit cette route.
Anglais, vous pouvez comprendre cela, dans vos clubs, tout est orchestré, et quand les français sont capables de vous sortir des actions de malades, sur, que cela vous " gêne ". Mais je sais que vous appréciez aussi, chut, faut pas le dire😊.
Sir Jack est maintenant pleinement l’un des nôtres, il s’épanoui dans notre ville rose, et même si on ne lui a pas encore chanter le god save the king, quelque chose nous dérange en tant que supporters. Sir Jack le dit dans l’interview, on te pousse à devenir meilleur, et donc être selectionnable..... COMMENT CES VANITEUX DE LA FEDERATION ANGLAISE PEUVENT ÊTRES AUSSI C..S! Un joueur de la classe de Sir Jack, qui s’est dépassé lui-même ne peut-être sélectionnée? Et en plus, formé pas ces mangeurs de grenouille, et pas n’importe lequel !
Dans un sens, à cours terme, tant mieux pour nous, ben non, on peut pas comprendre qu’un de nos enfants soit privé de dessert, pour des bêtises qu'il n’à pas fait.😢
A vous les média Rosbif, mettez la pression à mort, répéter des c’est pas juste, ect...
Anglais, accepter de partager, nous serons content, vous serez content...
Bonne journée à tous, on se retrouvera au prochain crunch🎉🎉🎉
Wonderfully expression
good guy
to jo tikori whos wife passed away respect!
lets not forget willis has played on 2 occassions against a mostly french teams (franike,baabaas) that has put 50+ point on him
At age 29-30 he will be eligible to play for France, 3-year rule ala Jean Kleyn and others. What a player, huge loss to England team. Keep up the good work Jack.
Some pundits have floated the idea of Toulouse lending him for a season to an English club (that can afford it, maybe Bath) so he would be able to play for England in the next RWC.
If they all speack english as well as Antoine Dupont, I am not sure they can complain about your French 😆
His French mates might rile him while training, but Jack now participates in the pre and post match conferences, understanding and answering question in very understandable French. th-cam.com/video/7bAVDHe5Omk/w-d-xo.html at 00:59 I think he will be as popular as Sir Johny Wilkinson in French rugby.
Who is talking with Jack ? I’m an old froggy. I know that I know him but his name can't reach my exhausted brain!
Je crois reconnaître James Haskel, qui a joué au Stade Français plusieurs saisons ! Je te réponds en français :)
I don't understand French !
Je débloque, je suis froggy et toulousain , qui plus est....
Je te remercie, je l'avais reconnu, mais à 75 ans, les noms propres..... Jack Willis est vraiment un gars de très grande qualité à tous points de vue. J'étais à la finale au Vélodrome où toute sa famille était présente....
