Robbie Henshaw saves certain try by taking out two Highlanders with last-ditch tackle

Robbie Henshaw knows he needs a big, big game to put himself in the Test picture.

The Ireland centre turned 24 on Monday and has another massive day on the agenda in Dunedin. Henshaw was named inside centre against 2015 Super Rugby champions, Highlanders, and a solid outing could put him right in line for a spot in Warren Gatland's Test XV. Henshaw has plenty of attacking skills to offer but his defence was needed in the opening 10 minutes to prevent a certain score. Following good work from Jared Payne in the right-hand corner, Highlanders spun left and looked odds on to score when Malakai Fekitoa sped on and had two teammates on his shoulder. Henshaw scrambled brilliantly and not only took down Fekitoa but another Highlander while he was at it.
