Scotland v Ireland: Robbie Henshaw thrilled to be back in the mix for Murrayfield via IrishTimesSport
Called in to train with Leinster on Monday, Henshaw sees it as a positive to have had three sessions this week, but save for those few minutes against Fiji, he has effectively not played since last October. Although Stuart McCloskey and Garry Ringrose sat out the open session in the Aviva, that pair are also expected to be in the mix next week for the game against Scotland.
It’s hard to credit that Henshaw won the first of his 61 Ireland caps as far ago as the 2013 tour to the Americas against the USA. Asked if this is the strongest Irish squad he’s known, the 29-year-old said: “It has to be up there”.
