The 32-year-old tighthead, whose reputation as a dominant scrummager has only grown since leaving Bristol Bears for Toulon, remains on the radar of England head coach Steve Borthwick.

Career Snapshot

Born in Wandsworth, London, on March 30, 1993, Sinckler began playing rugby at Battersea Ironsides RFC. He joined the Harlequins Academy and made his professional debut for the club in 2011, going on to make 145 appearances over nine seasons. A move to Bristol Bears in 2020 added another 45 Gallagher Premiership appearances before his 2024 switch to Toulon.

Internationally, Sinckler has been a mainstay for England since 2016, earning 68 caps and representing the British & Irish Lions six times between 2017 and 2021. He was part of England’s squad that reached the 2019 Rugby World Cup final and has played a key role in multiple Six Nations campaigns.

As the Gallagher Premiership looks to bolster its front rows and the 2027 World Cup approaches, all eyes will be on whether Sinckler makes a return to England — a move that could benefit both his club ambitions and his international prospects.
