Robbie Henshaw may be forced to leave Connacht for another Irish province if Joe Schmidt feels it would benefit the national team.

The IRFU president has said that Connacht’s only current international, Robbie Henshaw, will have to move to another province if Irish coach Joe Schmidt insists on it.

IN the absence of so many experienced players, Les Kiss, Ireland’s defence coach, has called on Jamie Heaslip and Tomás O’Leary to show leadership qualities during the forthcoming three-match tour of New Zealand and Australia.
