- Prop urges Warren Gatland to ‘put me on the field’
- Sinckler was controversial omission from original squad
Kyle Sinckler has urged Warren Gatland to “put me on the field” after earning a British & Irish Lions reprieve with the Bristol and England prop determined to prove he deserves his place in the squad following his late call-up.
Sinckler was the shock omission from the original 37-man squad but when Ireland’s Andrew Porter was ruled out with a toe injury he received the call from Gatland on Sunday morning. By his own admission, Sinckler had written off any hopes of touring South Africa after processing the initial disappointment last month – plain for all to see in an emotional interview days after the squad announcement.
