Robbie Henshaw will play his first Rugby World Cup game tomorrow, lining up alongside Keith Earls in the centre after recovering from a niggling injury.
A very special British & Irish Lions House of Rugby show – fronted by Sean O'Brien and Alex Goode – is available now and will run for the duration of the tour. Follow and subscribe to it HERE
Henshaw, however will have an old friend on his mind when he makes his World Cup debut.
He posted a touching message on Instagram today, following this morning’s Captain’s Run.
The message refers to Karl Ashe, a former school-mate of Henshaw at Marist College, who died suddenly [at the age of 16] in 2009.
The friends played for Marist College in the 2008 Connacht Schools Junior Cup – losing 8-5 to Sligo Grammar School.
We’re sure his old friend will be looking down on him tomorrow with a smile as he makes his debut on the biggest stage of them all.
