Robbie Henshaw to be sidelined for four months

"He's completely avulsed the muscle from the bone which requires being re-attached to the bone.”

Leinster and Ireland centre Robbie Henshaw is set to be sidelined until the end of October following his pectoral tear injury suffered last week playing for the British & Irish Lions in Wellington, writes Simon Lewis.

Henshaw, 24, was forced off after just 19 minutes of last Tuesday's tour game against the Hurricanes and was ruled out for the remainder of the New Zealand tour two days later.
