Robbie Henshaw: Too soon to be thinking of France

Another week, another yarn about Robbie Henshaw’s future.

It was the player’s appearance on national radio that instigated the latest bout of speculation. Will he stay at Connacht or will it be a switch to Leinster? Who knows? He confirmed nothing beyond the fact it is too soon to be thinking about a move to France.

It will likely be some months before his next contract is finalised, but Leinster could do with some good news now. Defeat in Bath on Saturday all but condemned them to an early exit from the Champions Cup and theirs is a squad that could do with some fresh blood.
