Rugby star Gavin Henson has provoked anger in Welsh rugby by telling an interviewer that doing well on Strictly Come Dancing was a greater feeling than winning the Six Nations with Wales. The Western Mail's Ciaran Jones reports.
"Several of Wales’ most famous former players yesterday said they were astonished by the comments from a player who helped Wales win the Six Nations twice, in 2005 and 2008.
"...It is the latest in a series of media embarrassments for the player, who earned the anger of his Wales teammates with remarks about them in his 2005 book My Grand Slam year.
"In one section of the interview he spoke of his pride in appearing on the BBC light entertainment show, saying: “To get a standing ovation and to get to the semi-finals was a great feeling. It tops any rugby moment, even winning the Six Nations.”
