Pat Lam has indicated that Kyle Sinckler may be held back for Bristol Bears' Premiership clash against Saracens this weekend following a Six Nations campaign for England which has left the prop with a few “bumps and bruises”.
Sinckler made five appearances for England over the tournament but didn’t train in the week prior to the Ireland game due to a back injury and then sustained a concussion during that encounter which meant he started off the bench in their final fixture in France.
Sinckler has reported for duty at the Bears High Performance Centre ahead of Saturday’s game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but director of rugby Lam looks to be erring on the side of caution over his involvement in north London.
