Kyle Sinckler of the British & Irish Lions spinning before coming on as a substitute during the Castle Lager Lions Series 1st Test match against SA at Cape Town Stadium on July 24 2021.So confident was British & Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland that Kyle Sinckler would be cleared of a biting allegation that he included the prop in the squad for Saturday’s deciding Test against the Springboks in Cape Town.
Sinckler‚ who was the only one cited following the tempestuous second Test won 27-9 by the Springboks in Cape Town‚ would have faced a lengthy ban had he been found guilty. Sinckler is free to line up next to his teammates‚ some of whom he might have trouble recognising‚ given the alacrity with which Gatland wielded the axe for the final Test.
England’s Sam Simmonds however‚ makes it onto the bench‚ and will likely bring some speed to the Lions' backrow in the latter stages of Saturday's Test.
