He tried football, kickboxing, karate, but rugby was the one. Kyle Sinckler talks about his journey of being a football-mad youngster from south London to propping for England and Harlequins.
A kid I played rugby with at school in the mid-1990s was one of the most talented fly halves/three quarters you'll ever see. Was invited to England schoolboy trials with our teammate (eventual PRO14 captain) but didn't even bother turning up. Ended up signing forms with a Championship club and ended up a journeyman pro.
and Rugby League. If Rugby League wasn't so popular we would have a lot more Union players from Northern England. Nearly all of England's squad is from Southern England.
@@ThomasWilliams89 Almost all the England players come from about 10 counties in the South of England. Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire particularly
I didn't realise he was a converted centre! Like Tom Youngs, except Sinckler can scrummage. Most improved player of the autumn series and potentially world class. England's inner cities are full of athletic talent that rugby union has ignored for too long.
@Ghaze Its true mate my school didn't have rugby, loads of massive, quick guys would have been great.. didnt get introduced until I was 23, just wasn't any teams around. From near portsmouth.
My favourite player. On his debut I just thought damn! This dude is a beast, great scrumager, ball carrier, tackler, off loader. And utterly savage! Love him.
He played like a true Lion against Australia in the quarters, and that try he scored was brilliant thanks to a cheeky AF offload! Take out the ABs, please and thanks!
Oh my god watching you lumbering at "pace" towards the aussie line was a terrific sight .. I reckon you must have hit almost 7 mile an hour at one point and it was defo the highlight of an fine encounter this morning! Bring on NZ I say.
I was thinking the same thing. Some kf the lads i worked with in Croydon always ask you about Rugby cos they're not enjoying the football the frustrations of not being able to express yourself through a sport but it being the only one you know. England as a country have so much potential that hasn't been tapped into.
I can confirm this. Sinclair went to graveny secondary school and I went Bevin (nearby Burtnwood lane and graveny) but I played in the same club as him for a bit but a year under. There was sooooo much talent in my school but they just didn’t have a genuine understanding of the game or any real commitment from the schools around. If rugby is taken more seriously in south London it will be something! Loads of talent that need some guidance. The thing is most schools are not private so and they tend to focus more on football and athletics as the main sports.
Dan Austin genge is good, but especially for a World Cup we need experience in the pack. Mako has been on two lions tours, a World Cup and three or four premiership finals. Genge definitely in the fringes though.
Was a Shane he got injured at World Cup final, they really suffered without him. But not impressed with the way he pulled of his silver metal at the presentation🤦♂️ Be graceful in victory and humble in defeat.
The lads done good! Although he looses it with puerile childish petulence and becomes a penalty machine! Shame England still looking for the public school bollocks and using ex players children over raw talent
@Firsthgyhgyhuy Lastujhujhuj Yeah mate it's hilarious everyone's clutching at straws to try and discredit us but we just get on with it and keep proving them wrong
I'm Welsh and think Kyle is the best front rower on the planet and will keep improving. Looking forward to seeing him in the Lions again.
that teacher Mrs long goes to Trinity school croydon now and she coaches my team she is a great coach. She started the girls first sevens team
she got England to the World Cup Final and she's still developing rugby at the grassroots level, i love that
Imagine how much talent we've lost to football...
Loads & 99.99% of them won't have made it to a top level in football.

@@scrumpoxjnr we would dominate world rugby if we had popularity in the entire country.
He has developed so well . I get excited every time I see him with the ball
Great story. Now I'm forced to like him. 🇳🇿
Mrs Long deserves some flowers. 💐💐💐
i guess so lol

Spot on! England still entrenched with the public school bollocks! Just need to see NZ and how they recruit.
Lets all say what were thinking we need big powerful black dudes lke this

Kyle sinkler gave his winning medal to my friend‼️ what a legend ❤️

Good luck to kyle and the boys against the all blacks tomorrow we are all behind you
He was immense against the Aussies.. Beast mode long may it continue
Man Utd fan from South London sounds about right
Haha alot of United fans in london bruv! Lol
Love it he’s a back at heart 😂 #NewBreedOfProp
"don't worry about passing or kicking, I'll do that stuff" Sincks was ahead of his time XD
Awesome!!! Keep up the good work kyle..from a new fan in Thames NEW ZEALAND

Have to love this guy!!! Good stuff brother
so proud of you m8, such a great game and a try against australia world cup 2019
There's Alot of potential in London. Black lads needs needs introduction into rugby, way to channel their frustration like he said. Top man.
I was thinking the same thing.

Great player, huge talent. Hope he grows out of his moments of madness soon. It’s the only thing stopping him being world class.
Sad all that to get sparked in the first two mins of the final
Sinckler, George and Genge. England’s best forward row ever. Coming soon 🤞🏽
Dan Austin nah Mako over Genge
Moses Fakatou I forgot Mako to be honest. I just like Sinckler and Ellis’s aggression
Dan Austin genge is good, but especially for a World Cup we need experience in the pack. Mako has been on two lions tours, a World Cup and three or four premiership finals. Genge definitely in the fringes though.
Moses Fakatou i do think Mako will start. But if Ellis is fit he must be in the squad. England need a angry Bristol boy. Yes I’m biased.
Moses Fakatou 🤞🏽everyone is fit after the six nations and the rest of the premiership. It could be one of the best World Cups.
Probably my favorite English player. Was a beast vs the All Blacks last year!
He is a beast! Good Luck next week....
What a warrior,roll on the World Cup,sinks is going to be fantastic
Special talent!
He is a fine young man, his family must be very proud of him
Very down to earth, hard not to like him, even as an Australia supporter. Fan of his sledging!
SNITCH
shouldnt it of been DOBBED?? @@calummoran4626
dobber lol
Was a Shane he got injured at World Cup final, they really suffered without him. But not impressed with the way he pulled of his silver metal at the presentation🤦♂️
Be graceful in victory and humble in defeat.
Ok, boomer don't cry
ha, would love to see him at fly half for the odd game :)
He and Ellis Genge are the future for England Rugby...both can be great players.
m8 love you, your a great prop but a better ball carrier...stay healthy we nd you
He’s an inspiration
That man is crazy absolutely love him keep up the good work
Top top bloke
World class
Literally like a rhino that dude
That's Genge. Hopefully we can see them line up for England at the same time one day
Minus the horn. The horn is in East Asia being made into a potion
@@philipeafroboy1 - my thoughts exactly.!!!
He played very well yesterday in the RWC against Australia!
The try he scored was excellent.
Great player
Says he's a prop, but he looked like a winger last game.
2:03 What a hit!
Top man
Good lad!
Beast
My mother always said if you have nothing good say then say nothing, best case I think with respect to this rugby player
Go on Kyle - bring the trophy home to Graveney!
Done well kid!
What a guy
Pulis will be devastated that he converted to rugby
Genuinely nice kid
This is sick cause I play for ironsides
Wow that tackle on Etzebeth really stong guy
Shame he got injured so early in the World Cup final. It looked really bad at first, but thank god he was okay.
Kyle Sinckler - the bodybuilding version of Bugzy Malone
You missed it man😌 #RWC19
Hey Kyle just wanted to say thanks for helping us against England the other weekend haha
Is this Katie Prices lad?
Ok
I played battersy ironsides yesterday and beat them😂
Is this dude Jordan’s son?
Rugby players love to say "obviously" in interviews.
Haskell says it every couple of seconds
dude got knocked out cold
But could he have 'taken' O'maherny ?
O’mahony
fkn grub
Wrecking ball
My bru..you got owned today!
Princess Owen you have to wait another 4 years
Rose would've won the 2019 RWC if the scumboks hadn't of typically and deliberately knocked him out of the final.
Come on .... admit it , you searched for
This guys mom Katie Price is so hot !
Stop giving away soft penalties!!
Wtf england made rugby and many people dont know about the sport😂
Yeah its a shame
Burnt wood lane hahaha
What a beautiful chocolate man😶
Drug cheat
The lads done good! Although he looses it with puerile childish petulence and becomes a penalty machine! Shame England still looking for the public school bollocks and using ex players children over raw talent
rugby player with a football mentality... that explains the bad sportsmanship.
He should have stayed in football!! He's a penalty give away nightmare and taken off against Wales!!! Thanks for the points!! Lol
Calm down pal
Look where he is now and where Wales are lol
@Firsthgyhgyhuy Lastujhujhuj Hopefully mate. Welsh are jealous cos they ain't us simple as that
@Firsthgyhgyhuy Lastujhujhuj Yeah mate it's hilarious everyone's clutching at straws to try and discredit us but we just get on with it and keep proving them wrong
Scumbag of a player should have been banned for life a long time ago
