Robbie Henshaw aware patience needed on long-awaited return

'I can’t try to overdo it, I just have to fit into the system, do the right thing and do the basics well'

Robbie Henshaw

Robbie Henshaw knows he cannot put too much pressure on himself this evening when he puts an end to a frustrating three weeks and starts for the British & Irish Lions against the Stormers.

Having not yet played on South African soil due to the hamstring strain he sustained in training on arriving in Johannesburg, he knows more than most that tonight’s game at Cape Town Stadium is the final opportunity to shine before Warren Gatland and his coaching staff go into their selection meeting for the side to face the Springboks in seven days.
