Robbie Henshaw targeting one last crack at World Cup in 2027 with Ireland

"I know it’s a long way away for me but if I can stay fit and keep playing good rugby, I can't see why I can't have that as a goal to go towards. It will definitely be in the list of goals, long term.”

Robbie Henshaw is targeting one last crack at a World Cup with Ireland after signing a new contract with Leinster and the IRFU that takes him through to the summer of 2028.

The veteran centre will be 34 by the time the 2027 competition gets going Down Under. The aim is to be part of an Ireland squad that will be hoping to win a knockout game for the very first time.
