WATCH: Joe Schmidt won't risk Robbie Henshaw: 'His World Cup could be in doubt'

"If you get a re-injury on the same site then you are in a situation where his World Cup could be in doubt."

Ireland boss Schmidt is confident Henshaw will be ready to face Italy despite leaving the 21-year-old out of Sunday’s Pool D clash at Wembley.
