Sinckler tore the pectoral muscle in his chest during the build-up to the final warm-up Test against Fiji in August.
Kyle Sinckler admits his relief at winning a race against time to be fit for England’s World Cup having succeeded in convincing Steve Borthwick that his body would not let him down.
It resulted in veteran Dan Cole rolling back the years to start the opener against Argentina at tighthead prop and, eight days later, Sinckler’s promise to his head coach was honoured when he was given the all clear to face Japan. “And thank you to my team who work for me off the field. They have really stepped up and helped me and I have been on recovery 24/7 since that game so I am just very grateful to be here and hopefully get to do my thing again.“I’m just grateful to be here – my second World Cup and my 13th or 12th year playing professional rugby.”
“The only thing that is not expected from me is to kick and take high balls! The role has changed since I first came on the scene,” Sinckler said.
