Garry Ringrose: 'The Aviva has always been special and every result adds to that legacy'

The renewal of what has become one of the fiercest rivalries in Test rugby over the last nine years had Ringrose recalling the Test debut that never was back in Chicago in 2016

Ringrose is about to make his 61st cap for Ireland. 

Sixty caps into a successful Test career, Garry Ringrose thinks as fondly about a game he didn’t play in as much as the ones he did.

Cap 61 for the 29-year-old centre is expected to come this Friday night when New Zealand return to Aviva Stadium, Dublin, for the first time since 2021, with Andy Farrell set to name his matchday squad at 2pm on Thursday. Yet the renewal of what has become one of the fiercest rivalries in Test rugby over the last nine years had Ringrose recalling the Test debut that never was for him back in Chicago at Soldier Field in 2016.
