Will Henson ever play in a World Cup ?

Henson's enforced 6 to 8 week layoff following surgery on his wrist underlines the dangers inherent in these so called "warm up" matches. Competitive, meaningful rugby matches can't be played at anything less than 100% and a small country like Wales is inevitably going to lose personnel due to the extraordinarily high attrition rate in the modern game.
The loss of Henson may be difficult to estimate - but the loss of players like Adam Jones and Mike Phillips would be plainly disastrous. This Welsh squad is full of high quality players, but scratch a couple of names out, and Fijians will be licking their lips.
