ROBBIE HENSHAW “OUTSTANDING” ON HIS 5Oth IRELAND APPEARANCE
ROBBIE HENSHAW won his 50th Ireland Senior cap in their 48-10 Guinness Six Nations championship win away to Italy. It is a milestone achievement for the 27 year-old Athlonian who continued his Leinster partnership in the centre with Garry Ringrose. Henshaw made a significant go forward contribution, particularly in the first half, during his 70 minutes stint. Head Coach Andy Farrell described Robbie’s
performance as “outstanding” as he “grabbed the occasion and embraced the pressure” on his 50 th appearance.
It was a massively proud day for the Coosan native – and also for Buccaneers Rugby Football Club – to see Robbie lead out the team in green at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico. Ireland recorded a bonus point victory on Henshaw’s landmark appearance. Congratulations Robbie!
