Multi-talented Ringrose has eyes opened by East

Garry Ringrose hasn’t looked back since making his Irish debut last November and tomorrow (6.40am, Eir Sport) he will chalk up his 11th appearance in a row for the national side.

The 22-year old may have missed out on the Lions this time round but he said that this summer tour to New Jersey and Japan has been an “incredible experience.”

He smiled: “I’d never been to New York or Tokyo before. Whatever about the States which we’d all be a little bit familiar with I hadn’t an excuse to get out to this side of the world so adapting to the culture and even preparing for the opposition we’re playing — it’s all a big learning curve for everyone, coupled with a lot of new faces getting new caps over the last few weeks.”
