Garry Ringrose is targeting a return to action in time for the opening weekend of the 2020/21 Heineken Champions Cup season as the Leinster and Ireland centre looks to step up his recovery from a broken jaw.

Ringrose suffered the injury during the first half of Ireland’s Six Nations defeat of Italy on October 24, ruling him out of the following weekend’s trip to play France as well the upcoming Autumn Nations Cup games against Wales and England.
