"Maro Itoje is one thing that is working against him and that's coaches liking to bring one lock slash six. But the only thing I'd say is the quality of those guys makes a strong argument for bringing them both. "It's not like he's a lock who can do a job at six. He's a lock who's unbelievable at six and potentially even better. He's the same as Itoje - an impact player - and they're both good in an open game. "I'd bring them both. Henderson is definitely the calibre of player needed to win a Test series down there."https://youtu.be/K38qngaTqVY It was no surprise to see Sean Cronin receiving a bundle of praise after his latest barnstorming outings for Leinster.

"The dynamism he brings off the bench, the dynamism he brings when he starts, again is something different," he said. "He's the type of guy that can change a game and a guy that we're going to need on this tour."

Brilliant footage shows Toulon doing training drills on Dublin street ahead of Leinster loss
This is great! Ahead of their Champions Cup semi-final against Leinster this afternoon at the Aviva Stadium, Toulon were seen training in a rather unusual spot. Instead of a field or the gym, they were filmed on a Dublin street doing maul drills, while others causally tossed the ball around. It is unclear exactly where […]
