Andy Howell, writing for theWestern Mail has backed controversial Welsh back Gavin Henson to make their World Cup squad.
"There are plenty of shrewd judges out there who would have you believe that Gavin Henson might not be anywhere near New Zealand next month.
And, never one to want to spoil a story, the glamour boy of Welsh rugby played along with that view when he spoke to the media at the squad’s headquarters yesterday.
Henson suggested, not for the first time in recent months, that he might be in the last-chance saloon and just one match away from World Cup oblivion.
The 29-year-old claimed there were three centres ahead of him in Warren Gatland’s pecking order – Jamie Roberts, Jonathan Davies and young Scarlet Scott Williams.
That’s without mentioning a certain James Hook, who, like his former Ospreys pal, can play nearly anywhere in the backline."
