DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ireland coach Joe Schmidt is confident centre Robbie Henshaw will be fit to face New Zealand next week and has not completely ruled out scrumhalf Conor Murray from making a surprise return when the world's top two teams meet in Dublin.
Henshaw was withdrawn minutes from kick-off before Ireland struggled past Argentina 28-17 on Saturday after his hamstring tightened in the warm-up. He will be monitored in the coming days but Schmidt was hopeful of his availability.
