Moments like these will draw us closer, says try-scorer Garry

Garry Ringrose believes Ireland’s shock defeat to Japan can act as the catalyst for a successful assault on the knockout stages.

The 2018 Grand Slam winner believes Ireland have to learn from the mistakes which led to them losing their grip on a contest in which they had carved out a 12-3 lead inside 20 minutes only to go scoreless for the remaining hour and lose 19-12 on a historic night in Shizuoka.
