The video which was released this morning shows an incredible clip from the third test where the forwards coach for the Lions, Graham Rowntree has to warn Kyle Sinckler that he will be mentally targeted by the opposition before he comes onto the pitch.
Kyle Sinckler in his early career for notorious for being a hothead on and off the ball. In the second test, he almost lost them the win after an outburst at the end of the match.
The clip from that moment can be viewed below.
It was clear the All Blacks team were very aware the Bristol Bears prop was a hothead.
In the clip below Rowntree can be seen looking directly in the 27-year-old’s eyes before saying, “You don’t react to anything, they’re going to come for you”.
The former Harlequins man can be seen smirking when Rowntree says this.
In recent interviews Sinckler has said that he liked the label that he had as a bad boy in his early days playing rugby and this is evident in this revealing clip that we can view below.
