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.

Sinckler's a runner, key to those pivot plays England use. Dan Cole is a good tight-head but not as nimble.

You think in an hour, with the pressure he'll be under, he's going to be drained.
