New captain, new head coach, new assistant coaches, five uncapped players and four ‘development players’ – there’s a sense of turning the page as Ireland head into the 2020 Six Nations.  Andy Farrell named his first Six Nations squad on Wednesday and the new head coach is starting off his tenure in his typical no-nonsense approach by excluding some big …

While Saturday past may not have been a highlight reel moment for Garry Ringrose, it most certainly was for his cousin James McCourt. Shortly after Ireland were humbled by the All Blacks in their Rugby World Cup quarter-final, the University of Illinois kicker made headlines worldwide when his last gasp 39-yard field goal gave his side victory over Big Ten …

Ireland legend Brian O’Driscoll thinks it’s looking increasingly likely that Garry Ringrose will find himself on the bench for the World Cup opener against Scotland on September 22.  Ireland have four out-and-out centres in their 31-man squad for the World Cup; Bundee Aki, Robbie Henshaw, Garry Ringrose and Chris Farrell. Joe Schmidt has trialled four different centre partnerships throughout the …

The nominees for the 2019 EPCR European Player Of The Year award have been whittled down from 15 to five.  At the end of the pool stages, fifteen players were nominated for the award and that has now been reduced to five based on public voting and the verdict of a distinguished panel of rugby experts. Just two teams remain …

Man-of-the-match Garry Ringrose may have won many of the plaudits for his excellent performance in Leinster’s 29-13 win over Toulouse at the RDS this afternoon, but the centre was keen to pass on the praise to his forwards who put in a brutally dominant display.  From the off, Leinster were keen to lay down a physical marker with the likes …

Ireland defence coach Andy Farrell spoke to the media this afternoon at the team’s base in Carton House and he provided an injury update ahead of the eagerly-anticipated clash with the All Blacks on Saturday.   With Robbie Henshaw and Conor Murray ruled out of the rest of the series, Ireland have been sweating on the fitness of Garry Ringrose, Rob …

Sean McMahon reports from Carton House  Rob Kearney and Garry Ringrose were the two high profile injury omissions from today’s Ireland squad announcement for Saturday’s clash with Argentina at the Aviva Stadium.  Kearney emerged as a doubt ever since he picked up a shoulder injury for Leinster playing against Benetton in the Guinness PRO14 a few weeks ago. Ringrose picked …

Ireland centre Garry Ringrose believes that himself and the rest of his teammates will need to improve on the performance which saw his side run out 54-7 winners against Italy in order to get a victory against Argentina this weekend.  “I think it probably has to come up a notch [the performance],” Ringrose said on Monday. “I think both teams …

Sean McMahon reports from Carton House The main highlight from Ireland’s 54-7 thumping of Italy at Soldier Field on Saturday was without doubt Jordan Larmour’s blistering attacking performance.  Larmour scored three tries which all displayed his superb footwork and acceleration – this was also evident when he set up Luke McGrath for Ireland’s second try in the first half. With …

Sean McMahon reporting from Twickenham.  It’s hard not to be impressed with Garry Ringrose. Not only did he score a crucial try as his side produced a magnificent display to leave south-west London with Ireland’s third ever Grand Slam but he put in a defensive masterclass in a game where Ireland had much less possession compared to any other game …

With Irelands choice of centres running thin, Garry Ringrose may have to step in

Relatively speaking, injuries have been kind to Ireland thus far in the Six Nations Championship. That is of course if you’re not counting the midfield. Joe Schmidt prepares for the Scotland showdown short on centres, with Robbie Henshaw and Chris Farrell ruled out. Therefore, Ireland will be forced to shake things up in the midfield as they aim to take …

Seán McMahon reporting from Carton House.  With Wales having named a very strong team for their clash with Ireland at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday, attention turned to the state of affairs at Carton House and the current injury problems which Joe Schmidt’s side face.  Ireland will not name their team until Thursday and there are a number of players …

Garry Ringrose will miss Ireland’s opening Six Nations game against France in Paris on February 3rd and the following’s weeks clash with Italy at the Aviva Stadium thanks to an injury he picked up in Leinster’s 38-7 Pro14 win over Ulster at the RDS on Saturday. Ringrose was forced to come off an hour into the game thanks to an …

After Saturday's masterclass against South Africa, we look at Ireland's greatest ever results in the autumn internationals.

Munster and Leinster have both confirmed some of their players to miss November internationals

With the news of Robbie Henshaw and Garry Ringrose’s lengthy injuries, Ireland’s November opponents will be licking their lips. Ringrose has recently been ruled out of action for up to five months after surgery on a niggling shoulder problem. This, combined with Henshaw already being ruled out for four months after tearing his pectoral muscle off the bone, has Ireland looking …
