'I have to play more, I left the accordion down for a while but I've taken it back up now.'
ROBBIE HENSHAW IS one of those fellas who never have to stress when called on for a party piece. His musical talent means he’s always covered.
Harrington performed for Ireland once before. That was the night before the 2016 win over the All Blacks in Chicago. Good omens for the World Cup perhaps. Either way, Henshaw has been enjoying Ireland camp since they started pre-season training back on 19 June. In 2015, he picked up a hamstring the week before the opening game against Canada and wasn’t fit until Ireland’s third pool match. In 2019, it happened again. Another hamstring injury the week before the opening game against Scotland. Henshaw only got back for the final pool fixture against Samoa. Ireland were going home a week later after their quarter-final defeat to New Zealand.“My goal is to be fit for round one hopefully if selected,” he says.
“It’s massive, even our S&C coaches are highlighting a big thing is the importance of recovery and having time away,” says Henshaw, “switching your head off from rugby and overthinking things.“Studies have been done on it which is very interesting, how stress-related injuries can happen. It’s interesting, the week my grandmother passed away before Toulouse, I picked up a quad injury out of nowhere on the Monday in Leinster and they reckon that was a stress-related injury.
Henshaw’s most recent memory at the Aviva Stadium is a tough one, with Leinster having lost the Champions Cup final to La Rochelle there back in May. He has moved on but feels there are lessons that can inform what lies ahead with Ireland.
