Henshaw is ruled out of Irish tour to Argentina

Connacht’s Robbie Henshaw has been withdrawn from Ireland’s tour to Argentina due to a hand ligament injury.
 
In a brief statement released today (Thursday) by the Irish Rugby Football Union, the Athlone native’s withdrawal from the tour was confirmed.

‘Robbie sustained the injury earlier in the season and it had not limited his ability to train or play. He exacerbated the injury in training this week and further specialist advice has recommended that surgical repair of the damaged ligaments should not be delayed further. No decision on a replacement has yet been taken’, read the statement.
