Shane Williams insists people have a misconception about his returning Wales team-mate Gavin Henson. The Western Mail's Simon Thomas reports.
"There seems to be a misconception among some people that he is full of himself and big-headed. Not true.
“He is quiet, most of the attention he gets is unwarranted and he prefers to keep himself to himself. After the part he played in our Grand Slam in 2005, the media interest went through the roof, fuelled by the fact his partner was Charlotte Church.
“The slightest change in his hairdo seemed to spark a feeding frenzy of press attention. Gav does pride himself on his appearance though.
“When he first came along, his fake tan, expensive hairdos and moisturisers caused a bit of a stir because we all felt they were the sorts of things women rather than men went in for. Now to some extent, we’re all at it!
“The majority of the Ospreys lads shave their legs these days, they really do, and Mike Phillips, Lee Byrne and James Hook aren’t averse to the odd session on a sun-bed. Whatever, any criticism is water off a duck’s back to Gav."
