Thomas replaces Sinckler in England training camp
By Peter Thompson
Henry Thomas will fly out to Portugal for England's pre-Six Nations training camp as a replacement for Kyle Sinckler.
Sinckler will return to Harlequins for further assessment after arriving in Vilamoura on Monday with a suspected hamstring injury.
Bath prop Thomas, who won the last of his seven caps against New Zealand in 2014, will link up with the squad as they prepare for the Six Nations opener against Italy in Rome a week on Sunday.
A Rugby Football Union statement said: "Kyle will undergo further assessment and treatment with his club this week."
Centre Henry Slade did not make the trip to Portugal due to a shoulder injury.

A Turtle has more pace and leg drive than Owen Franks, so it’s a good thing he only had to run 90 metres for that try.
