Robbie Henshaw: 'Wales not past their peak'

Ireland centre Robbie Henshaw insists that Wales are not past their peak ahead of Saturday's Six Nations clash between the two sides in Cardiff.

Ireland centre Robbie Henshaw has insisted that Wales are not past their peak ahead of this weekend's Six Nations showdown between the two sides in Cardiff.

Henshaw got the only try of the game as Ireland kept their Grand Slam hopes alive with a 19-9 triumph over England in their last match, but they face two away games to finish the tournament, starting at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday.

Some critics suggested that Warren Gatland's side may have been past it following their defeat to England in the opening match of the competition, but Henshaw rubbished those suggestions and acknowledged that the Welsh pose a "massive threat".

"This Wales team is absolutely not past its peak. The fact that they are at home and that they play their best rugby at the Millennium, they're going to cause a massive threat for us," the 21-year-old is quoted as saying by PA.

"So we're going to have to be squeaky clean on the day in terms of our discipline and we're going to have to take all the chances we get. It might be more open than the England game, but we want to stick to our game plan and follow through on what the coaches want from us. It's not going to be more than a two-score game though.

"They are not predictable either: they have a lot of different options available to them with Dan Biggar at 10. He gives them a good attacking threat and good aerial skills in the team. We're just going to have to be prepared for anything."

Henshaw also labelled Wales's centre partnership "one of the best in the world" as he and Jared Payne gear up to face Jamie Roberts and Jonathan Davies.
