“At the moment I have to get all my options on the table and then I’ll have to see what’s best for my career. I’m not making any decisions yet at the moment. I’m just waiting until all the options come in and then I’m going to assess what is the best for my career.”
For Leinster, news of Henshaw's pending arrival would be a huge boost to a province facing up to a lost season in Europe following defeats by Wasps and Bath, but there is always the risk that a continued spell of poor results could discourage any switch to the RDS.
And Leinster's upcoming schedule is hardly set up to aid a lift in morale, with a brutal list of fixtures between now and the New Year.
Back-to-back Champions Cup fixtures against a Toulon side wounded by yesterday's defeat at Wasps loom large in mid-December, but before that Leinster welcome Ulster to Dublin and travel to Pro12 champions Glasgow.
Another pair of tough derbies follow Toulon, as Leo Cullen brings his men to Thomond Park after Christmas before tackling Henshaw's Pro12-leading Connacht side on New Year's Day.
Whatever decision Henshaw does make, he seems certain to spurn lucrative offers from abroad to remain in Ireland, stating: “I suppose, in terms of the French teams in the Champions Cup, their players are obviously being paid a significant amount of money, but I suppose I’d love to play all my rugby in Ireland at the moment.
"I’m still quite young so I wouldn’t be thinking of leaving for a while. Further down the line it could be an option but at the moment I don’t think so.”Explore more on these topics:
