By Peteso Cannon

Garry Ringrose returns to the thirteen jersey for Ireland after a lengthy layoff to face the in-form Huw Jones.
The centre hasn’t played an international since Ireland’s summer tour of the USA and Japan.
He missed the autumn series with a shoulder problem, while an ankle injury saw him miss out on the first three matches of the 6 Nations.
It’s the third time in the Championship that Ireland have had to change their centre combination, after injuries to Robbie Henshaw and Chris Farrell.
The pair also discussed the critical situation Ulster Rugby finds itself in, having gone through five managers in just four years.

The weather was dreadful but the playing surface was great so there is no real excuse for such another poor standard of play from both sides. Dragons just the better team. But, what a shocking decision by the TMO not to award the Fifita try. This pretty much sums up Welsh rugby with poor teams and poor officials. The WRU have a lot of work to do and it needs to be done quickly to avoid rugby being lost to our future generations.
Go to commentsNo chance of Borthwick selecting any young talent. He announced his selection policy from the outset with naming a poor OF as Captain, retaining an equally poor Youngs and Vunipola brothers when there were many better EQP in the Premiership. SB revival of Leicester was based on SA muscle and a terrific Welsh flanker he has generally ignored young English talent.
