Ireland centre Robbie Henshaw claims he ‘likes the pressure’ of the intense competition for minutes at international level.
The form of Bundee Aki has left Henshaw scrapping with countrymen Garry Ringrose and Stuart McClosley to slot in alongside the 33-year-old.
“I’ve been lucky to get back from the World Cup, get a run of games with Leinster and just enjoy it,” said Henshaw.
“It was stop-start before that. You get form from playing rugby, so to be playing, starting, that’s where you get the best out of me.
“It’s always tricky [to come back from an injury]. That’s the nature of the game. We’re lucky to have such good talent here in this team, all the centres are top class.
“When you get the chance you have to perform and take it, otherwise someone else can take it. I like the pressure.”
