Ireland centre looking forward to continuing centre partnership with Stuart McCloskey
He said: “As he released it gave me a licence to go and try and hit him. I could have gone a bit quicker and ideally, he wouldn’t have got the ball away but, as I said, I know I have licence to do that when the boys are in good positions outside me.”
Ringrose has started three of the last four Test matches alongside Stuart McCloskey – the Leinster centre came on after just four minutes of the game against Fiji to link up with the Newtownards man – a partnership that should be extended further against France at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday afternoon.Nuance and understanding are honed by game time and the pair continue to build on the relationship from the November series.
France’s fitful performance against Italy is unlikely to be replicated on Saturday in Dublin, instead Ringrose expects to encounter a properly calibrated Grand Slam champion from last season. “They have a very good kick-pass game. The challenge with them is that they can take you on in the middle, which tightens you up, and then you just have to be really aware as to where their edge men are. ]
