Johnson begins job of nurturing Henson talent

Writing in the Western Mail, Andy Howell looks at the task facing Ospreys coach Scott Johnson.

"Henson, who is believed to be on around £170,000 a year at the Ospreys, has missed a staggering 100 out of a possible 164 appearances for club and country in official tournaments since the Lions tour of New Zealand in 2005. He has taken part in just 12 out of 45 Tests for Wales and in 52 of the Ospreys’ 119 matches during that period, missing out on selection for the 2009 Lions.

Henson has two years remaining on his contract with the Ospreys but admitted, after injuring is right ankle during the humiliating EDF Energy Cup semi-final defeat to Gloucester last April that he was finding it more difficult to summon up the willpower to overcome his frequent set-backs."
