Greenwood wrote: “Kyle has had his ups and downs. His fire is still present, but he seems much calmer around big moments. 

“Disappointments are part of life, and he seems far more sanguine about things. Certainly, his Instagram posts suggest an inner peace. By some distance our best front-line distributor of all the tightheads and when England play at pace he can make sure the ball sees the light rather than heading back under bodies.”

  • He was scouted by Collin Osborne, then Harlequins Academy manager, when playing at full-back/centre for Battersea
  • His nicknames include ‘Sinck’ and ‘Kitchen’.
