Henshaw 'head down' to make Lions impression

Robbie Henshaw has clear aspirations of making the cut for Farrell’s squad - he started all three Tests against South Africa four years ago.

Robbie Henshaw has offered his backing to the Ireland heavy coaching team that is set to steer the British & Irish Lions ship for their tour of Australia later on this summer.

Following intense speculation in recent weeks, it was officially revealed yesterday that Andy Farrell will be joined in the Lions camp by his Irish assistant coaches Simon Easterby, Andrew Goodman and John Fogarty. While England’s Richard Wigglesworth and John Dalziel of Scotland are part of the coaching ticket, Vinny Hammond (head of analysis) and Aled Walters (head of athletic performance) are also on board from the wider Irish backroom set-up.
