Don't expect to see Garry Ringrose on the wing too often in the future, but in a World Cup year, his two-try shift out wide against the Sharks can be filed away under 'good to know'.A run-out on the wing is rare enough for the Ireland international, but an appearance off the bench is even less frequent.Saturday's appearance against the South Africans, in which he was a first half replacement for the injured Jordan Larmour, was his first time coming off the bench for the province in almost seven years, having worn the 13 shirt in each of his last 97 appearances for Leinster.Back then, Ringrose was still in the province's academy, with the majority of his seven senior games at the time being out wide.He might have needed a refresher course in both wing-play and playing from the bench, last week being just the seventh time in 149 appearances for both club and country that he's worn a sub's shirt."When you're '23' you sort of prepare for a number of positions you could be called upon (to cover), and someone like Jordo [Larmour], coming on for him, it’s pretty big boots to fill."So yeah, some good moments, but others were just me being in the right place at the right time off the back of good work from Johnny, a brilliant kick from Robbie as well."So happy with some parts and other parts, I’ll have to pick the brains of the wingers to see how I can be better if I’m there again."A thriller at the RDS.
After the visitors split Leinster open again, Garry Ringrose grabs his second try after a beautiful piece of skill from Robbie Henshaw. #LEIvSHA #BKTURC HT: Leinster 21-20 Sharks
