Robbie Henshaw has committed his future to Leinster and Ireland through to the summer of 2025.

The Athlone native is 28 now and he will be 31 when this deal expires. That keeps him in Dublin for a phase commonly held to be the prime of a sportsperson’s life and Henshaw has lived up to that with his displays in recent years.
