Joe Schmidt has insisted Garry Ringroses Test debut will not automatically usher in a brand-new Ireland centre pairing dynasty with Robbie Henshaw.Prodigiously-talented Leinster centre Ringrose will make his keenly-anticipated Test bow in Saturdays Aviva Stadium clash with Canada in Dublin. The 21-year-old will be among eight potential new caps amid an entirely fresh starting XV - but head coach Schmidt has moved to dampen expectation around the fleet-footed outside centre.Leinster powerhouse Henshaw and the defensive captain Jared Payne remain Irelands first-choice centre pairing, and can be expected to be restored for the rematch with New Zealand in Dublin on Saturday week.In the end Robbie and Garry (Henshaw and Ringrose) have played together four times for Leinster, said Schmidt, when quizzed over the mouthwatering potential future double act.So to say theyre a combination, I think theyre developing as such, but whether thats sufficient... there almost has to be an intuitiveness.Ringrose will partner Ulsters Luke Marshall in Saturdays Canada clash, as Ireland look to draw a line under last weekends historic victory over New Zealand. Ireland ended a 111-year wait for a maiden victory over the All Blacks, triumphing 40-29 amid joyous scenes at Chicagos Soldier Field. Schmidt has selected an entirely fresh starting line-up to face Canada, with Ringrose, lock Billy Holland and Jack ODonoghue all making their Test debuts.The uncapped quintet of Hooker James Tracy, prop John Ryan, flanker Dan Leavy, scrum-half Luke McGrath and wing Niyi Adelokun are all primed to enter the fray off the bench.Schmidt hailed Ringrose as a natural player capable of scything through top-level defences but is determined not to heap too much too soon on a star capable of carving out a significant Test career.Irelands 51-year-old boss insisted it will take time for new Leinster team-mates Ringrose and Henshaw to build the kind of telepathic relationship so enjoyed by former record-breaking centre double act Gordon DArcy and Brian ODriscoll.We assess as we go on, and I think Robbie was fantastic last week, but looking back at Jareds game he made a couple of very telling contributions as well, said Schmidt of Henshaw and Paynes performances against New Zealand.And those two know each other really well. You dont get a lot of time to communicate in those channels, I think its one of the fantastic things when I walked into Leinster there was Gordon DArcy and Brian ODriscoll, they didnt really have a lot to say to each other on the pitch.They just knew by the body language which way the guy was going. And you get such little time that if you can avoid the need for that communication I think youre better off. So thats something that potentially going forward is a really positive thing.Whether its soon enough, I think one of the things well see how Luke and Garry knit together first and foremost. We do know that Robbie and Garry do knit together pretty well.? Larry Johnson Womens Jersey . LeBron James and Chris Bosh didnt need any more.

Coach Tom Thibodeau says the former MVP will probably start travelling with the team in the next few weeks. Rose tore the meniscus in his right knee at Portland in November and was ruled out for the remainder of the season by the Bulls. OKLAHOMA CITY -- There were few indications before August that Russell Westbrook would be so willing to be the hero downtrodden Thunder fans needed.For years, the sometimes combustible Westbrook toiled in Kevin Durants shadow. He often was viewed as the talented, selfish player who was as likely to get in Durants way as he was to make a winning play. His flashy style seemed at odds with small-market Oklahoma City so when Durant, who seemingly was a better fit in OKC, left for rival Golden State, fear that Westbrook would bolt for a larger market increased.He didnt. He chose to re-sign with the Thunder and now that he has answered the call, its time to deliver.We know a few things about Russell at this point, Thunder general manager Sam Presti said. Hes going to bring his lunch pail every day. Hes going to compete. Hes going to inspire. Hes going to show great conviction and courage to his teammates, to the city, to the organization. And from there, we have to figure out how that comes together.That trek begins Wednesday in Philadelphia when Oklahoma City officially tips off the post-Durant era in its season opener against the 76ers.Westbrook is now the unquestioned leader of the Thunder and player folks behind the scenes knew -- the thoughtful, humble, giving man -- has more readily come to the surface. He has gone to great lengths to connect with Thunder fans in recent months.Among other things, he unveiled his new line of True Religion clothing near downtown Oklahoma City and he attended an Oklahoma home football game against Louisiana-Monroe wearing a custom-made Sooners jersey. When he was introduced to the crowd before the Thunders preseason home opener, he got the kinds of cheers normally reserved for a return from injury.Westbrook seems more at ease on the court, too. His preseason play seemed more effortless than electric, with an occasional flourish.I want the team to play how they want to play, Westbrook said. I mean, its not totally up to me how we play. You have to adjust to the team you have and adjust oon a night-in, night-out basis on how you want to play.dddddddddddd You want to play fast some nights and you want to play slow. I think it depends on the game, on the situation, who is on the floor.He is poised to put up astronomical numbers this season as he tries to keep the Thunder among the NBA elite.Last season Westbrook averaged 23.5 points and career highs of 10.4 assists and 7.8 rebounds. He posted 18 triple-doubles, the most for a player since Magic Johnson had 18 during the 1981-82 season. The two-time All-Star MVP and former scoring champion could do more damage without Durant, but the Thunder dont want too much pressure on him.I think we have to be able to play in a way thats not just relying on him to do everything and create every single shot, whether its him making the shot or making the play for another guy, Thunder forward Nick Collison said.Westbrook already has left an impression on his new backcourt mate Victor Oladipo, who was acquired in the trade that sent defensive enforcer Serge Ibaka to Orlando.After working with Russ, I can see the intensity in how serious he was about his craft, Oladipo said. But one thing that I realized that after guarding him for three years -- I can see why hes so effective at what he does. I definitely stole that from him, and Im going to take it and run as fast as I can with it.How Oladipo and the rest of the Thunder do in keeping up with Russell will determine how much success the team will have. Oklahoma City is no longer considered the team to beat in championship conversations, and thats fine with Westbrook. He said the team embraces the underdog role.I love it, he said. I love it, man. I think its a great challenge, not just for myself, but for our whole team. I think just from talking to the guys throughout the summer, they understand that. They want to win. They want to get better.---Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter (at)CliffBruntAP . ' ' '
