Henshaw effectively ruled out of Scotland match

Robbie Henshaw

Ireland are refusing to give up hope that Robbie Henshaw can shake off his hamstring injury and play a significant part in the World Cup.

Assistant coach Greg Feek admitted centre Henshaw is “very, very unlikely” to feature against Scotland in Yokohama on Sunday for the Pool A opener.

But the Ireland scrum coach insisted Henshaw’s early reaction to his hamstring issue allows team bosses to hold out hope he can recover to take part in the competition.

Ireland have opted not to release the full extent of Henshaw’s injury, but a team spokesman confirmed the 26-year-old will definitely not be returning home and is still part of the 31-man squad.

Henshaw suffered his hamstring problem in training on Saturday, leaving Ireland fretting over his status since.

Asked if Henshaw had been ruled out for the Scotland match, Feek said: “Well not really but you can read between the lines.

“Robbie’s looking very, very unlikely for this weekend obviously.

“But we’ve just got back from training and still sorting things out, but I think it’s reasonably positive in terms of what we saw.

“Some of these guys, day by day, week by week, they can improve dramatically as opposed to the average human. So we’ll just take it like that at the moment.

“It’s looking positive, so from here on in we’ll just see how it goes in the next few days and then maybe reassess in the not too distant future.”

Feek admitted Henshaw will be relieved by the positive news on his hamstring complaint, with Ireland still hoping he can shake off his blow quickly.

“He’s a good man, great to have around, his work ethic is incredible and you know he’s doing the work,” said Feek.

“To be at this stage now there’s probably a sense of relief.”

Feek also confirmed that Joey Carbery trained fully on Monday, leaving him well placed to feature against Scotland at the weekend.

Playmaker Carbery suffered an ankle ligament injury in Ireland’s opening World Cup warm-up match against Italy in Dublin on August 10.

The 23-year-old had faced a race against time to be ready for Ireland’s World Cup opener, but now seems to have pulled off that feat.

“Joey was running around today and trained, he looked pretty good,” said Feek.

“So we’re just all really happy for him more than anything.”

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
