The polished Ireland outside centre is always one of coach Andy Farrell’s first picks
“Attack-wise, they have some of the most dangerous individuals in world rugby on top form,” says Ringrose. “So, when we don’t have the ball, there’s no room for switching off concentration-wise or we will concede. That’s not even to mention the physical challenge, so it’s a concoction of everything, really.
When Ireland played France in this year’s Six Nations Championship, it was O’Driscoll who pointed out that what many see as an impetuous outside centre flashing up is actually a very controlled and effective method of frustrating players like Kolbe. “The nervous part of defending at 13 is there is always danger out wide, the fast men, so you want [the opposition] to give it to the bigger ball players more often than not, keep it away from the fast guys that have X-factor.”
