Henshaw hails ‘ultimate leader’ O’Connell after Six Nations win

“He’s an unbelievable player and to be doing what he’s doing at the back end of his career is unreal. I think he’s an inspirational guy. He led and everyone else followed.”

Ireland centre Robbie Henshaw is basking in the delight of a Six Nations victory and credits captain Paul O’Connell for providing the leadership to drive the team to the title.

Henshaw, 21, admitted to being overwhelmed by the fact that Ireland were champions following the nail-biting final day of action.
