20-YEAR-OLD Garry Ringrose will make his Leinster debut in tomorrow’s Guinness Pro12 clash with the Cardiff Blues at the RDS (KO 5.15pm, Sky Sports).
The 2014 World U20 Player of the Year nominee starts on the right wing for Leo Cullen’s side, forming a back three with the experienced Isa Nacewa – who captains the side in Kevin McLaughlin’s absence – and Ireland international Fergus McFadden.
