Iain Henderson continues on his upward spiral.
The IRFU have announced the provisional squad for the Autumn Internationals.
It’s a big step up for Iain Henderson and Luke Marshall who join Rory Best, Tom Court, Darren Cave, Tommy Bowe, Stephen Ferris, Chris Henry, Andrew Trimble and Dan Tuohy to bring Ulster’s representation to 10. More players will be added after this weekend’s Pro12 which should include a prop and a back.

Apart from young Henderson stellar progression I’m finding it difficult to get worked up for this so nothing more to add.
