Ringrose doubt for Ireland's Six Nations
By Harry West
Garry Ringrose's injury nightmare continues as the Ireland centre looks set to miss the start of the Six Nations due to an ankle problem.
The 22-year-old was on the sidelines for the opening five months of this season after undergoing shoulder surgery, returning in December.
But he picked up an ankle problem during Leinster's 38-7 win over Ulster on Saturday and was forced off in the second half.
He has been diagnosed with "syndesmosis of the ankle", according to the Six Nations' official website, which carries a recovery period of approximately six weeks.
Ireland are scheduled to open their 2018 campaign against France in Paris in a little under four weeks, before hosting Italy on February 10.
Ringrose started all five Six Nations matches last year, and has four tries from 11 appearances overall.

Even with absences we still had the cattle to make the playoffs. As it was, we nearly stumbled our way into the top 8. Which shows just how easy it was to get there. And still we failed. As for Razor, there are many instances of him patching up the Crusaders roster. Numerous. Several players Id never heard of. Also, using AB legend John Afoa was a classic.
But, some of the games we were losing were from schoolboy errors, or downright confusion. Either the players were really dumb (they weren’t) or they were poorly coached. Given the repetitive nature of errors, brain fades, poor decision making, & loose structures, this all lands with the coaching group.
With only six playoff spots now in SR, & Aussie franchises now consolidated to four, 2025 looks like a tight one. We'll have to tough it out under Penney & hope for the best.
