Henshaw scans confirm worst fears
By Alex Fisher
Robbie Henshaw will miss the rest of the Six Nations after suffering a shoulder injury during Ireland's 56-19 victory over Italy on Saturday.
Henshaw appeared to dislocate his shoulder as he scored his second try of the comfortable win in Dublin, the Leinster back leaving the field with his injured right arm in a sling.
Coach Joe Schmidt had hoped there would be good news about the centre, but scans on Monday confirmed Henshaw would need an operation.
The 24-year-old has already had surgery to correct the problem but that means he will play no further part in the tournament.
There was better news regarding Tadhg Furlong, though, after he limped out of the Italy win.
Scans on the forward showed he had only suffered a "minor hamstring injury" and Ireland expect him to be fit to face Wales at the Aviva Stadium on February 24.
On Saturday Schmidt addressed what looked at the time like a significant injury to the centre.

Even with absences we still had the cattle to make the playoffs. As it was, we nearly stumbled our way into the top 8. Which shows just how easy it was to get there. And still we failed. As for Razor, there are many instances of him patching up the Crusaders roster. Numerous. Several players Id never heard of. Also, using AB legend John Afoa was a classic.
But, some of the games we were losing were from schoolboy errors, or downright confusion. Either the players were really dumb (they weren’t) or they were poorly coached. Given the repetitive nature of errors, brain fades, poor decision making, & loose structures, this all lands with the coaching group.
With only six playoff spots now in SR, & Aussie franchises now consolidated to four, 2025 looks like a tight one. We'll have to tough it out under Penney & hope for the best.
