Recalled Dingwall reveals pep talks from Sinfield stopped him throwing in the towel

- ADAM HATHAWAY

FRASER DINGWALL has revealed pep talks from Kevin Sinfield helped him believe he would finally get an England recall.

The 25-year-old has been involved in around a dozen international training camps since 2020, toured Australia in 2022 and Japan and New Zealand last year - and has just two caps to show for it.

The defensive mastermind for Premiership champions Northampton, centre Dingwall played against Italy and Wales in last year's Six Nations before being cast aside when Ollie Lawrence returned from injury.
