Rory Best: Forget BOD comparisons, let Garry Ringrose be his own man

"People just want this fantasy that there's another Brian O'Driscoll out there."

Rory Best has called for an end to "fantasy" comparisons between Brian O'Driscoll and Garry Ringrose to let Ireland's young gun centre realise his rich Test potential.

Ireland boss Joe Schmidt spent some 18 months rejecting growing outside clamour to cap Ringrose before handing the gifted midfielder his Test bow in November.
