Rugby World Cup final: England prop Kyle Sinckler taken off with concussion
Sinckler has made 25 senior appearances for England since his debut in 2016
England prop Kyle Sinckler was taken off with concussion in the third minute of the Rugby World Cup final against South Africa.
The 26-year-old collided with team-mate Maro Itoje, trying to tackle Makazole Mapimpi, and immediately hit the floor.
There was a lengthy stoppage as Sinckler was assessed by the on-duty doctor, before he regained consciousness and walked off the field.
The Harlequins front-row was replaced by 32-year-old Dan Cole.
