Henshaw expects Saints to 'have no fear' against Leinster

Henshaw and Co remain unbeaten so far this season, having added Montpellier to their growing list of victims last weekend.

Leinster have won all seven of their Pro 14 games, with a points difference of plus 204, which is in stark contrast to Saints, who have lost their past 11 matches in all competitions.

But Ireland centre Henshaw believes Chris Boyd's side will play with the handbrake off in the Champions Cup clash this weekend.

"Having played them last season, we know them well and they have good strength in depth," Henshaw told RTÉ Sport.

"We expect them to come here, play their rugby and have no fear.

"We need to be across our work, be ready for them and expect them to come out of the blocks and have a go, so they will definitely will be dangerous."

Leinster ran in five tries on their way to a 35-14 win away to Montpellier last weekend.

And Henshaw said: "Overall, it was a positive review and generally the mood is that we’re happy with how it went.

"I don’t think that there is ever a perfect game and there are always areas you can improve and tidy up. We’ll look to do that this week."
