The Ireland centre is fully fit again after recovering from wrist surgery:
AS REINFORCEMENTS GO, any team would find it hard to do much better than Johnny Sexton, Jamison Gibson-Park, Tadhg Furlong, and Robbie Henshaw.
The Leinster man missed the win over the Springboks but returned to start against Fiji a week later, only to limp off soon after kick-off and then miss the win against Australia. When Henshaw was sidelined with that hamstring problem, the decision was made to also operate on a wrist injury he was carrying.
The fact that Henshaw wasn’t released back to Leinster this weekend suggests that he’s very much in Andy Farrell’s plans to feature against the Scots. It remains to be seen what part he plays. “It’s positive because I got three good sessions under my belt for the week, and I’ll be able to train again on the weekend. It’s looking positive for the next few weeks.
Henshaw is wary of the Scots’ danger men but excited about the possibility of setting up a Grand Slam finale in Dublin a week later.
