WHILE HE STARTED this year’s Six Nations on the Ireland bench, Iain Henderson ended up having perhaps his best-ever championship.
It kick-started with 56 superb minutes against Wales as the Ulster man made a telling impact in replacing the injured James Ryan.
Peter O’Mahony’s early red card left Ireland in a hole but they came within a remarkable Justin Tipuric try-saving tackle on Garry Ringrose of claiming a stirring victory in Cardiff. Henderson was at the heart of most of the good stuff.
