Some of that is not a learned skill, it's innately part of your rugby make-up and your understanding of how the game works. So when you do identify that in someone, it really stands them apart from their peers, and I thought that was so evident in Garry from very early on."O'Driscoll can still recall his surprise, in 2014, when Ringrose was called back in to train with the senior squad after not being picked in the Ireland U20s team. The loss for the underage side ultimately benefitted Ringrose as he got another sampling of the top-class senior set-up overseen by Joe Schmidt. It is perhaps no surprise, then, that Brian O'Driscoll names Garry Ringrose as one of the main players in world rugby that gets him, as a spectator and pundit, excited when they take in a game. Some of the other names mentioned may surprise you, though. [caption id="attachment_282432" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

But there's a snappy nine!"So, that list again in order of their mentions from the great man himself:
