Garry Ringrose believes Ireland’s return to international rugby can give supporters a lift in troubling times as the national team prepares to resume its 2020 Guinness Six Nations campaign on Saturday.

Ringrose, 25, named Zurich Players’ Player of the Year 2020 at the Rugby Players Ireland Awards on Saturday night, spoke on Monday of the privilege felt by Ireland squad members at being able to get on with their jobs when others may not be so fortunate due to the restrictions imposed on everyday life amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
