Leinster’s Garry Ringrose ‘one for the future’, says Zane Kirchner

Leinster’s South African international Zane Kirchner has heaped praise on the province’s young star, Garry Ringrose.

Ringrose’srun of fine form has been rewarded with inclusion in an extended Irish training panel at Carton House at the weekend, and Kirchner — who featured for South Africa in their surprise opening game defeat to Japan at last year’s Rugby World Cup — predicts big things for the Dublin native.

“I’ve only really played with him [Ringrose] for two games since I’ve been back from the World Cup. Garry’s agility and footwork is quite good,” Kirchner admitted.
