Ringrose steps aside, Lions chase history in Melbourne
Bangkok Post
|July 25, 2025
British and Irish Lions coach Andy Farrell praised Garry Ringrose for selflessly withdrawing himself from the second Test against Australia after the Ireland centre's concussion symptoms returned yesterday.
-
Ringrose was set to form an all-Ireland midfield with Bundee Aki at the Melbourne Cricket Ground tomorrow but pulled out after training, ensuring Scotland centre Huw Jones retained the No.13 jersey.
Ringrose also missed last week's 27-19 win over Australia in the first Test in Brisbane because of concussion.
"It’s head-related again," Farrell told reporters in Melbourne.
"There was no incident. He was feeling good [before]. It was very big of him and the right thing to do, 100 percent. For the team as well, not just for Garry."
