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.

It's the same criticism of Dmac and Mo'unga as well. Sadly the way the game has been heading recently it's the only way to break down a defence, and a player of Lawrences nature would have a very limited chance at doing that because he's too one dimensional.
Noah Lolesio is your sort of player and that worked OK, but only because his team is far more creative than Englands for example. The highly organized Irish attack was also another that didn't require much from the 10, but that is now changing with Prendergast who is in that league mold like the most new age 10's.
So it is in fact your two which would require even more change to make the most of than Marcus Smith.

There are tougher opponents waiting and they will be punished heavily unless the coaching improves dramatically.
