In terms of the SANZAR regulations, he will not be eligible to play any knock-out games should the Stormers qualify.
 
Sinclair has 25 Canadian international caps (2008-2011), the last being the Rugby World Cup game against New Zealand in Wellington, on October 2, 2011.

Sinclair took up a contract with London Irish after the World Cup.
