Leinster boss Leo Cullen plays cool on Robbie Henshaw

Leinster are due to announce a raft of newly-minted players contracts at some point this week, possibly as early as today, but there was no word yesterday as to whether Robbie Henshaw’s name would be among them.

A second batch of updated contracts will be released towards the end of the season.

Such is the way the province goes about this aspect of its business though it is impossible to say that confirmation on Henshaw’s arrival in Dublin would not be ratified by other sources by then.
