The Ireland centre has looked back to his influential best in the wins against France and Italy.
Ciarán Kennedy SHOULD GARRY RINGROSE be available for selection when Ireland play Wales later this month, Andy Farrell will have a big call to make in his midfield.
A hamstring injury limited Henshaw’s influence at the World Cup, with the former Connacht man making just two appearances off the bench . He came into the Six Nations with a strong run of games under his belt with Leinster, and has kicked on again since coming back into the Ireland starting team. After conceding an early penalty, Henshaw began to make his presence felt with two nice contributions during the build-up to Jack Crowley’s opening try.After using his strength to beat the first defender, he shows good footwork to then step the next tackle.A few phases later Henshaw again carries with intent to break the Italian line, pushing Ireland to the edge of the Italy 22.
Henshaw does really well to free his hands behind winger Lorenzo Pani and find his centre partner, Stuart McCloskey, who in turn hits Sheehan.
