I think that was the best sports interviews I've ever listened to. Honest and laying it all out there as an England fan it s so refreshing to hear a player speaking from the heart and not following the script. It's what the media have prevented over the years with their witch hunts and scape goats. Well done I wish you all the best in Toulon and will follow your progress with huge interest. Really inspirational stuff Thank you Karl and GBR
Kyle, great honesty and something every young man should listen to to help on their own professional and personal journey. I, and many more I am sure, can definitely relate. All the very best going ahead!
What an incredible interview... Sinks truly is a big man... it is the right thing to take ownership and responsibility and look to improve but, as an England fan, although I could see that Kyle was not at the heights he had reached before, it never crossed my mind that he was solely responsible for our defeat by SA in World Cup 2024. Something that does worry me is that the England players feel unable to express themselves like this off the pitch - and, to be honest, the national team sometimes feels to me like they are unable to express themselves on the pitch (maybe it is connected) - I hope that GBR and the examples of Jonny and Kyle allow other players to be themselves a bit more, as they have a whole country willing them well. Look forward to Sinckler Mk II - hope everything goes well in France.
I would Objectively speaking but Him and Genge lost that game for them and gave away penalties at scrum time which cost them a 9 point lead But respect to him for being honest and genuine
@@MeiA-h9rhe was up against the best in the world in terms of props, its a tough one. No other country had props the match the boks, everyone came close though.
Geez he’s harsh on himself- great humility. Must say I always enjoyed his passion for the game and his candidness. Much love from SA. Also, England had us for 70 out of 80 mins in that game, could’ve easily gone your way Sincks!
Hope to see Sinks back in an England shirt. What a professional he is and you can tell he has so much more to give. It's really good having Johnny on it's levelled up the show.
As a Saffer, up until now, I've never liked Kyle, but I must say I have new respect for the man. It's rare to see such honesty with sports celebrities - Well done Sinks!!
Wow. Just wow. Fair play to you Elis. It's one of the most difficult things to be so brutally honest about yourself. I might have cancer and to be fair it'll likely be because of the way I've lived my life. Thanks for being so open. I don't actually think you where that bad!! 😂😂
Wow - What an episode. I've been a GBR supporter for a while now, but more recently I've been switching to Ben/Dans For the Love of Rugby as GBR has been a little beige recently, especially in comparason to the George Ford epsiode, but wow, this has but GBR into the stratosphere. Rugby aside, we've had the privilege of watching/listening to the story of a boy turning into a man and as a big fan of 'the daddy' I am in awe of his story and the delivery of it - what a great guest, great episode and great yellow socks
I hope Kyle Sinckler and the rest of the England team realise, and this is from the heart.... we stand by ALL of you through the thick and thin..... i think i can talk for every England rugby fan... WE WILL NEVER TURN OUR BACKS OR WALK AWAY FROM ANY OF YOU, AND WILL ALWAYS BE STOOD RIGHT BEHIND YOU NO MATTER WHAT.
Haven’t watched this in months and genuinely came back when I saw Sink talking so openly. Have felt those struggles playing his position at a good level and was so great to hear him open up. Never seen these guys talk so openly.
I know it's basically a meme at this point, but Tinds sat on his phone as Kyle poors his heart out is not the one - must be distracting for the guest. Despite this, great pod. Jonny and Kyle were excellent!
Great show. I hope he has a fantastic few years down in the south of France. At his best a great player but had a difficult few years which he clearly understands and owns. Looked like he was close to be backing to his best at the end of the season with Briz. A big man to face up to it. Very articulate and continues to be an inspiration. Love to see more of him on shows like this. Good luck for the future Kyle.
Kyle, always a fabulous player but what an inspirational guy! The honesty and integrity off the charts, remarkable. Should be given to every elite athlete when they start the journey.
I've said for many years that Sinckler has the worse attitude and body language of any professional rugby player. He thought he was some hard arse Gansta when in fact he had all the attributes but not the mental ability to put them to work. It is remarkable that his coaches didn't see this and help him years ago. It's very refreshing that he has been so honest and lets hope France is his turning point
Great stuff from sinks; extremely honest and open. However I think he's being overly harsh on himself: the starting England pack had already crumbled once or twice in the SA semi-final, so it wasn't just Sinks who they beat. Obviously a ferociously effective front row.
What a fantastic show. Another England great opening up about his journey and showing the world his personality. Top work from the 3 regulars just letting sinks speak. Keep it up fellas
Hearing other podcasts and English players like Lawes, Marler and Youngs talk with a real lack of professionalism and schoolboy humour it doesn’t come as a surprise they’ve not won anything on an international level. Biggup Sinklar for speaking so candidly, perforctly demonstrates the new found mentality and attitude. If only more English players could learn from you and drop the arrogance, humour and entitlement. Also celebrate the trophies, not the scrum penalties.
Maurice Colclough (RIP), England lock who partnered Bill Beaumont, played for Angoulême in the 70s - I may be mistaken, but I think the first England player to move to France. Surprised not to hear this mentioned - lost to memory, I suppose.
The “back” story is compelling. South London, single parent household, the chance encounter at a 12 / 13 age group rugby game, Epsom college, and then all the professional rugby achievements. How different may that have been if he was also raised by his father. How ironic and poignant the nickname of “Daddy”. Best of luck for Toulon.
To hear Sinckler say things along the lines of wanting to perform for his country, his coach, social media stuff and what we want to put out there to inspire others and perform for himself...really really inspiring. Thanks for sharing. Another commenter called him "top fella." I'll second that.
Great to hear Kyle so happy and excited and motivated . He’s in a great space and I wish him well. Only read about him really and thought attitude was his biggest problem . Comes across on here completely different to his media image. Wish him well and hopefully we can get to see him in an England shirt again. Reckon we will have him not only back to his best , but maybe better than ever. Just imagine this team that Borthwick is putting together now ,gaining a tighthead as good and experienced as him.
This is incredibly honest I wish Kyle all the best in France He will come back a lot lot better for it Good bad rugby just knocked it pit of the park AGAIN
such a great episode - always enjoyed Sinckler's passion, through all the good times and the tough ones. One thing that strikes me: It'd be such a shame if scrums are diminished. Props are such unique people, in their conditioning, physique, their job on the field, their lifestyle and backstories before coming into the game. We need to keep them and their stories in this game. I honestly enjoy hearing them talk a lot more sometimes than wingers and the flashy lot.
Fair play to the lad. Reality is he came up against ox who has been wrecking opposition scrums for fun. I dont think there is a prop in england who would have stood up to ox that night
Great show from so many angles….would be even better if Tinds could do the shows without his phone….it is distracting to viewers and disrespectful to guests when they are talking (which I have no doubt is not his intention, but that is the unfortunate by-product)….
As a South African this is the best sports interview of 2024. I learnt a lot that will help me professionally and also how to self grow and develop your own mind
What a silly comment. Who cares about results at the end of the day, these guys are people just like you and I and what matters most is their wellbeing and happiness.
great interview.. we are all our worst enemies unfortunately.. one of our greatest battles along the way.. can i ask what this snoz is? i thought he was talking about something else..
Snoz is powdered chewing tabacco essentially, I think it is also called snus. It is available and used by a lot of sportsmen from all different sports around the world. I don’t think it is performance enhancing or illegal, it’s just a thing
Great interview, Sinks came across really well, rare to see that side of professional sportspeople. A world away from that episode about the Saudi sports washing with that pleb from LiV golf
Fantastic show. The best GBR episode, to my mind....Sinks showing massive honesty, and laser focussed for what comes next. I would not bet against this man.....
What an insightful conversation, open and honest and very relatable. Its funny how many similarities there are between us all, no matter where you are at in life and if your at the top or the bottom, moving out of your own way, owning your true self, fighting to make yourself better and not beating yourself up too much mentally or physically. This was great to hear, thanks daddy Sinck.
i have a son the same age as kyle , let me say any parent who watches their son play rugby is so lucky ,show us what your full potential is ,i know your'll do well
