(Reuters) - Robbie Henshaw will remain in Ireland's Rugby World Cup squad despite a hamstring problem that is likely to rule him out of Sunday's opening match against Scotland.

Leinster centre Henshaw, 26, felt some tightness in his hamstring after a training session and went for a scan on Sunday to gauge the extent of the problem.
