"Henshaw played the best 15 minutes of rugby I've ever seen"

Brian O'Driscoll cited Robbie Henshaw's "immense" contribution to the Ireland cause earlier tonight when he joined us to review yesterday's excellent Rugby World Cup pool win over France.

And former Leinster second-row Trevor Hogan has added another accolade for the Connacht centre as he and ex-Ireland head coach Eddie O'Sullivan joined us on Off The Ball to analyse the game.

"There was a window there, that three or four minutes when [Paul] O'Connell was down and the first 5-10 minutes where Henshaw played the best 15 minutes of rugby I've ever seen. I watched it back and it's just unreal," said Trevor of the period either side of half-time when the game was in the balance.

Trevor added that "it was as influential as O'Driscoll's performance in Paris, what he did consecutively in that period".

Highlighting an impressive performance across the entire team, Eddie picked out Henshaw and Sean O'Brien as two of the outstanding exponents on show.

And he feels that "he's definitely world class" as he delivers at the highest level, while Eddie also praised the positives in Ian Madigan's performance as a substitute at No 10 for Jonathan Sexton yesterday.
