Ireland centre Garry Ringrose says he feels “lucky” to play alongside the in-form Stuart McCloskey in this year’s Six Nations.<\/b><\/p>\n
Ulster’s McCloskey has been a standout performer for Ireland in their three games in the championship so far, dovetailing well with centre partner Ringrose in particular in the 42-21 win<\/a> over England on Saturday.<\/p>\n Ringrose heaped praise on the 33-year-old, who has had to bide his time to shine on the international stage, and is delighted their partnership is functioning well in Ireland’s games so far.<\/p>\n “I feel lucky to play alongside him. He’s going particularly well and [against England] he was brilliant,” Ringrose said.<\/p>\n “It’s kind of the off-the-pitch or outside of the 80 minutes, we are working hard as a centres group, as a unit to try and get things right, be adaptable as to who’s in there and all be on the same page, while also then bringing that kind of uniqueness and individual quality.<\/p>\n “We’re all buying into the collective and he’s properly delivering on bringing his uniqueness and individual strengths which has been evident the last few games.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
