Writing in the Wales on Sunday, Barry John reflects on Wales' squad for the Six Nations.
"Whatever Warren Gatland and his coaches see in the new dawn on Gavin’s career only they will know. I’m amongst the many who simply cannot see it.
"A group, I note, which includes the Blues hierarchy, henson having been dropped from the 23 for today’s huge Heineken Cup clash with Racing Metro.
"Frankly, like them I’m baffled Henson, deemed not good enough for his region, is in the mix for his country in the Six Nations.
"To put this in perspective, I should point out I’m on record as stating Gavin henson is probably the most talented rugby player Wales have produced for many a year.
"There was a time when he did everything... kicked the goals, created the tries, scored them, made the tackles, had this uncanny knack of knowing just where to pop up on the pitch at a key moment to win games.
"Those attributes made Henson such a huge asset to the Welsh game, but we are talking about the Gavin of four or five years ago."
