The Leinster centre missed yesterday’s win over Romania with a hamstring issue.
Murray Kinsella Reports from Bordeaux IRELAND EXPECT CENTRE Robbie Henshaw to be available for next weekend’s World Cup clash with Tonga in Nantes.
But speaking this morning in Bordeaux, Ireland assistant coach Simon Easterby confirmed that they expect Henshaw to be available next weekend.“Yeah, he’s one of a number of those guys who didn’t take part yesterday that we would expect to be ready for selection come tomorrow night,” said Easterby. The others who didn’t take part against Romania yesterday due to injuries were hooker Dan Sheehan, loosehead prop Dave Kilcoyne, and number eight Jack Conan.“I’d say we haven’t ruled anyone out for next week,” said Easterby, who confirmed that there were no new injury issues arising from yesterday’s match.

TRY FOR IRELAND! Ireland 68-8 Romania (O’Mahony, 70′) A perfect 10 for Ireland — and Peter O’Mahony, who has only scored one Ireland try since the 2019 World Cup, now has two in the same afternoon.
