Across 48 matches Henshaw's tackle numbers stand out most sharply — averaging 3.7 per game with a single-match peak of 16, he is consistently one of the busiest defenders in the centres. His carrying is efficient rather than dominant, contributing reliable metres per game without being the primary ball-carrier, which points to a role built around structure and physicality. The combination of high defensive workload and steady involvement with ball in hand across Champions Cup, Six Nations, and World Cup football underlines his value as a dependable, high-minutes midfielder.
