(Reuters) - Breakdown specialist Jack Willis would bring intensity and physicality to the side if selected to make his debut against Italy in Saturday's Six Nations finale, England forwards coach Matt Proudfoot said.

The Wasps flanker was named the Premiership Players' Player of the Year after a season in which he tallied 46 turnovers -- 27 more than any other player.
