The man who has had more comebacks than Status Quo prepares to face the Dragons tonight in an eagerly anticipated Valleys derby. Will the boys from Rodney Parade rain on his parade ?
The acquisition of The Perma-Tanned One will certainly give the Blues more midfield options, and it will be an interesting test of the post Dai Young coaching set up to see how things develop. Henson was acknowledged to be the best 12 in the 6 Nations not so long ago, now his team mate Jamie Roberts has some claim to being the best in the world in that position. The Blues may go for an interchanging 12/13 set up, as the Lions managed so effectively with Roberts and O'Driscoll, but Henson has scant experience of playing with the trainee medic. Indeed, Roberts was pretty scathing when asked about Henson's re appearance in the Wales squad last year - how about this for a put down? -
"...Welsh rugby is not just about him. It's about the team and
individuals working hard within that team."
So suffice to say that our Gav has some points to prove, and folk to win over.
