Money is the only obvious incentive.

Sinckler is our first choice tighthead and is used in a way that brings the best out of him, which in turn puts him in the frame to start for England. There are no valid ‘on-pitch’ reasons for him to leave and I’ve never got the impression that money is his main motivation.

I feel the same about Clifford, but I’m less concerned given the alternatives we have in the squad and the relative availability of good back rowers vs. Almost 0 tightheads with Sinckler’s all round skill set.
