Ireland centre Robbie Henshaw has emerged as an injury doubt ahead of Saturday's crucial Rugby World Cup showdown with Scotland in Paris.
The 30-year-old is struggling with a 'niggle' and will be assessed ahead of head coach Andy Farrell naming his matchday 23 on Thursday afternoon.Henshaw suffered a fitness setback at the start of the tournament when he was a late withdrawal from Ireland's bench for the 82-8 win over Romania.He subsequently came on as a replacement in the 59-16 success over Tonga and the 13-8 victory against reigning champions South Africa.
But Schoeman knows he would likely have missed out on playing for Scotland at the tournament if not for the fact the Covid-19 pandemic led to a delay in World Rugby changing the three-year residency rule to five years.
