Ireland’s ability to adapt on the hoof to meet every challenge thrown their way has become a hallmark of Andy Farrell’s tenure as head coach and Garry Ringrose believes it can now reap dividends at the World Cup.

Outside centre Ringrose finished last Saturday’s Pool B decider against Scotland as one of two auxiliary wingers alongside scrum-half Jamison Gibson-Park following first-half injuries to Mack Hansen and James Lowe and ahead of tomorrow night’s quarter-final showdown with New Zealand, the 28-year-old credited Farrell’s no-excuse mentality for preparing Ireland’s players to embrace every moment of adversity.
