Kyle Sinckler interview: 'I now cherish every moment

England's training in Brighton this week included a 'misogi'. Sinckler is not a good swimmer. England's team has been disrupted by injuries, a fire and a typhoon. Sincker is grateful for the support team he has. He is about to earn his 50th cap. He feels he is getting older in the squad. His players were born in 2001 and 2002. They are grateful to be in this position. There are many people worse off than them. The team moved hotels 200 metres away. It was not too tough. Ian Keaty is injured. Jonny May is out of the Six Nations. Joe Marler has Covid.

Scotland have their biggest representation of Lions since 1989. Three of Scotland's coaching team also toured South Africa last summer. Gregor Townsend's team lost to England only once in the last four years. Scotland play England in Calcutta Cup at Murrayfield on Saturday.  

Scotland are preparing for their autumn international against England. Townsend doesn't think the Lions tour is an advantage for Scotland. He believes the players from other nations have worked with more Scots players than on previous Lions tours. Four of the eight Scottish Lions play in England and one in France. Scotland captain Stuart Hogg plays at Exeter alongside some England players. Scotland will concentrate on themselves. They will learn from the England, Welsh and Irish players, but they will focus on getting everything right. The team will play England at Twickenham. It is not an issue for Hgg. England's players play at every English club. Hagg plays each week alongside Jonny Hill, Sam Simmonds, Luke Cowan-Dickie and Henry Slade.
