IRFU Medical Bulletin: Chris Henry
The medical team for the Ireland squad, in consultation with the Ulster Rugby medical team, have released the following update on sidelined flanker Chris Henry.
Chris Henry –
Chris is recovering from a procedure yesterday to repair a defect in his heart wall. This was found to be related to his recent episode and has been performed to prevent further issues.

This update comes on the back of yesterday’s confirmation that Henry’s Ulster and Ireland team-mate Paddy Jackson suffered an AC joint sprain at his right shoulder during last Friday’s PRO12 win over the Ospreys.
The Ulster out-half, who has nine Ireland caps to his name, is expected to be out of rugby for up to six weeks.
