Robbie Henshaw believes Ireland’s fledgling centre partnership faces its toughest Six Nations test yet in Wales on Saturday against Jamie Roberts and Jonathan Davies, he said yesterday.

Connacht battering ram Henshaw has rubbished suggestions that Warren Gatland’s Wales are past their peak that surfaced after the 21-16 home defeat to England.

Ireland’s 21-year-old midfield sensation will pair up with Jared Payne in the centre for just the fifth time in Test action at the Millennium Stadium.
