Kyle Sinckler has had a fascinating season with both Harlequins and England. While he was subject of controversy on more than one occasion, he’s also shown that he’s a key member of the pack and this past weekend, showed that he has silky handling skills too.
Harlequins fell short of a playoff spot as they went down 27-25 to Wasps, narrowly missing out on the semi-finals when a last-minute penalty attempt from James Lang fell inches short.
Sinckler tweeted after the match: “Thank you for all the support this season. Tough pill to swallow – close but no cigar. Massive improvement from last year #OnwardsandUpwards #COYQ”

It was a late charge from Quins and they were helped by some lovely play by Sinckler as Danny Care went on the wrap around.
