Willis is a high-volume operator at the heart of Saracens' forward effort, averaging over 13 carries and nearly 11 tackles per match across 32 appearances at the highest level. His ability to sustain that workload — with single-game peaks of 21 carries and 24 tackles — points to a number 8 who thrives on being central to both attack and defence. Six tries across the dataset add a genuine threat-line dimension to what is already an imposing physical profile.
