Ringrose doubt for Ireland's Six Nations
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.

And they came from behind to win two big games before the final. No one can say what would have happened. Had the boks gone behind the game plan changes and the result may changes. Ifs and ands are irrelevant. The boks won. Neutral critics enjoyed the games they played. Its not a popularity contest. Get over it and move on.
Go to commentsI'm happy for the people of SA to get a second WC. And I mean that. I was very disappointed with this man's “stand on the hand” incident with Josh Van Der Flyer (Ireland). Ireland's downfall in the last WC was they did not rotate their first 15 as the head coach probably should have. That said, I'm happy for SA and genuinely hope it lifts the mood in their country. Ireland did beat them in the first match of the tournament. And before the trolls start trolling ….. please don't bother. Etzbeth said recently that the Irish players said after the match “see you in the final”…..this was actually wishing the SA team the best of luck in the rest, the Irish team were not dismissing the AB’s. This is what Etzbeth was implying. But he was wrong. I no longer live in Ireland. But I hope to see them lift that cup before I pass. Anyway, congratulations SA. 👍
