He started this match against his former club with a bang! Stirring with each of his ball catches, incisive in defense, the right pillar of the RCT Kyle Sinckler was nevertheless released in the 19th minute of play against the Harlequins, this Sunday.
And for good reason, the England international with 69 caps suffers from a broken forearm. According to Var-Matin, he will be on the sidelines for at least eight weeks of competition.
TOP 14. The right Sinckler/Ribbans lumberjack axis, oak wood from this reinvigorated RCT

For the trip to Sale this Sunday, only Emerick Setiano is available within the professional squad.
XV of France. Baptiste Serin, the providential man of the RCT who dreams (still) of the Blues: 'I miss it'
Thus, Daniel Brennan, right-handed during his younger years and who has the physique for it (1m93 for 125kg), could help out at the post this weekend. Unless the young and promising Davit Mchedlidze is preferred by Pierre Mignoni.
After 3 victories in as many matches, the RCT will travel to England to maintain first place in its group in the Champions Cup.
