great player, my ass! he got famous 4 dumpin 2 english debutants on their ass (noon n tate, i think) and hittin a big penalty near the end. what's he done since? don't play the injury card. funny how he's outta shape so much yet always injured. he's a decent player at best.
@1983honey Sorry but you're wrong. He is the reason that Wales won the Slam in 2008. He gives any backline direction and is great at spotting mismatches. Take Wales' Croke Park victory in 2008. The scoreline is close, 60 mins on the clock and Ireland are enjoying a period of pressure, albeit in between the 22 and the 10 metre line. Wales turn the ball over and it goes to Henson. He puts in a kick that sends the Irish back to within 5 yards of their own line and they visibly wilt. Game Over.
@AustinTassletine you're naming 1 or 2 things he's done in the past 5 years. you're points are pitifully general. how is he the reason wales won a slam. what about the 14 other players? never heard of 1 kick either that should or could influence the outcome of an entire 80 minute game of rugby and "no" i'm not wrong. it's an opinion.
@1983honey I like that. I give you a specific example and you say my points are "pitifully general". You clearly didn't see the game in question or read any of the interviews with the Irish players who cited that incident as the moment they knew they had no chance. Plus, you only get so many characters to type with here and I can't be bothered to argue with you about it any more.
@AustinTassletine i was at the game, on hill 16 to the extrme left about 10 yards up with my father-in-law. wales deserved their victory and absorbed irish pressure 4 about the last 15 minutes comfortably. you shouldn't presume things. the henson i saw was decent but it could have been so different if he hadn't have been spotted by the limelight, i don't know.
love him or hate him he was some player,a real class act and a great tackler,and this is an englishman saying this,his biggest problem has been in his head.
Henson is a good player but not and never was a great player. He had the opportunity to be great but concentrated on other things outside of rugby instead. Pity to see that kind of talent wasted. but that his choice.
why is everyone abusing him he is a good player and question to all those who slagged him off have you been on a lions tour? Gavin has so he obv has good skills
Jesus christ why so much abuse? He is a pretty class player and has done so much for the ospreys and wales. This whole thing about him always being injured... Would he CHOSE to be injured?! No...
Seriously, cut him some slack OR save your shitty comments for when you yourself make it to international level... yes?
Yea brilliant try... Really quite amazing how he catches the ball and runs straight to the line, with possibly the worst Ulster team trying to cover back... takes real skill to do that...
Well, this is the problem with him - Roberts has his 12 shirt, unless the bloke excels himself soon, then he's not going to get back in the Welsh team (not that it seems to bother him) and the Ospreys are positioning themselves to sell him.
Henson is class - ask anyone who has played with him or against him - I have and he finds time and spaces that you don't even know are there. The shame is that the celebrity side has taken over
Fucking hell that takes some talent to take a high ball at near on full pace! No wonder the defence didnt have a fucking clue what to do, they were all probably still looking in the air for the ball as he was crossing the tryline....
hes a class player, he proved that unsung during the 6 nations, okay he's sin binning against france was a little unnecessary, but he did magnificant through the tournament.. and this was just pure class
that looks good and if u play rugby u'l realise that was pure class, 2 catch the ball at speed with out stopping. Timed beautifully.... but gav u aint half a tit lol
if everybody forgot about the paparazzi and all the celeb shite and just focused on him as a player, people wudn't hate him as much as they do...he's a brilliant player
to go from being over rated to underrated so quickly is a shame. The guy is a great rugby player perfect in the centre. Beautiful ball skills, great support player and a huge hitter. The reason he wasn't there under Gaz Jenks is plain to see if you search out the tackle he did on a scarlets player early on in his career. he'll be back
@seanjones180 hey mate whats actually happened? like full details, Im an aussie and i see all these awesome vids of him and his talent, but i never see him playing for wales, or even club games? where is he? has is been injured for like 3 years? he didnt play 07 RWC right? any info would be great, such a waste

Blimey that's over four years ago.
A player is supposed to mature with age,what significant event since has Henson appeared in to draw praise from everyone.
He may have emense talent as a player but his atitude and appearence leave nothing but ridicule from those who love or hate him.

Not gonna dispute that. He's becoming like Wilko who everyone knows is a talent but never quite reach his potential with injury.
It's my dream to see a Lion line that looks like:
9.) Mike Blair
10.) Stephen Jones (Hook depending on form)
11.) Shane Williams (and a few young wingers banging on the door)
12.) Henson
13.) Tait
14.) Tommy Bowe
15.) Lee Byrne/ Geordan Murphy
