Henry blow for Connacht

Connacht’ have been dealt a major blow with hooker Sean Henry ruled out for the season.

Sligo native Henry, signed from Munster at the start of the season, faces surgery on a neck problem this week and misses the rest of the campaign.

Connacht may be forced to look to the academy for back-up in the hooker position as Jason Harris-Wright and converted back-row Dave Heffernan are their only two fit No 2s.
