Robbie Henshaw is fast developing the leadership drive to become a genuine Test match superstar, according to his Ireland centre partner Jared Payne. Carlos Asuaje Jersey . Outside centre Payne is boss Joe Schmidts preferred defensive captain but the teak-tough Ulster star insists Henshaws all-round abilities hand him an armchair ride in midfield.Henshaw truly came of Test match age in Irelands maiden victory over New Zealand, the 40-29 triumph in Chicago on November 5. The Leinster star ended any argument over his best position, nailing the inside centre berth in supreme style, leaving the vastly-experienced Payne purring over his midfield mates rapid elevation. Ireland vs New Zealand November 19, 2016, 5:00pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass I think hes getting better and better, the way he conducts himself off the pitch now, hes become more of a leader than when he first started out, said Payne of 23-year-old Henshaw, who now has 23 caps.He backs himself a lot more now. Hes got the physical attributes to become a superstar, and the more confidence he gets in himself off the pitch and the more he starts to lead people its going to come out more in his game, and I think youre slowly starting to see that.And hopefully that continues: because when youve got someone playing that well beside you its pretty easy almost to just jump on a free ride off him. Ireland ran out 52-21 winners over Canada at the Aviva Stadium last Saturday Paynes high praise for Henshaw underscores the former Connacht centres now pivotal role in Irelands starting XV.Head coach Schmidt trusts Paynes defensive determination above all others in his Ireland squad.So for the 31-year-old Payne, who is a former New Zealand U21 international, to lay much of the midfield defensive credit at Henshaws feet speaks volumes on the young stars integral status among his Test match peers.Henshaw ploughed home for the fifth and decisive try against New Zealand at Soldier Field, securing Irelands maiden win over the All Blacks in 111 years of trying. Henshaw scored Irelands fifth try in their historic win over New Zealand Now New Zealand will pitch up in Dublin on Saturday desperately seeking revenge, after Ireland ended their record 18-match winning streak in the USA.While Payne was quick to hail Henshaws rearguard regimen, Ireland skills coach Richie Murphy believes the rounded young centre can also blossom into a genuine second playmaker at 12.Hes really grown over the past couple of years, said Murphy of Henshaw.Its three years since he was in training with us and was in the panel, when he played against Australia but then didnt feature in that Six Nations.So he was in learning from the likes of Brian ODriscoll and Gordon DArcy.Those players gave him the best possible start, but its already the other way around. Hes working with the likes of Garry Ringrose and Niyi Adeolokun and hes bringing those guys through.Hes really stepped up, hes a big presence in the middle of the park for us and were really happy with where hes going.His versatility is a great advantage to us. He can play 12, 13 and if you wanted to put him at 15 you could do that too. Hes a really good man to have in the squad.Hes a quality passer off both hands. From 12 having the ability to rip that ball when its needed is a big advantage.A lot of people will think of him as a strong man who carries a lot of ball, but theres a lot more to his game than that. Over the last few years, hes been used in very different ways and it shows his ability to fit in to those game plans.Watch Ireland v New Zealand live on Sky Sports 2 HD on Saturday from 4.45pm.
