Garry Ringrose aiming to return for Six Nations as he picks up Player of the Year award

Ringrose treated himself to a trip to McDonald's when he got the green light to start eating solid foods again after his broken jaw

Garry Ringrose was looking forward rather than back when he collected his Guinness Rugby Writers of Ireland Men’s Player of the Year award for 2019-20 yesterday, with his sights set on passing fit to face Wales in Cardiff on February 7.

In a season every bit as stop-start for the Leinster and Ireland centre personally as it was for Irish rugby, Ringrose managed to shine brightest and succeed his provincial and Test team-mate James Ryan.
