Henson may face Six Nations KO
Wales face an anxious wait to see if they will have Gavin Henson available for this season’s RBS 6 Nations.
The 23-year-old could miss the whole tournament after being called before a disciplinary hearing for his clash with Alex Moreno during the Ospreys’ 17-15 Heineken Cup defeat by Leicester.
Moreno was left with a broken nose after Henson reacted badly to a swinging arm from the Leicester prop before aiming a kick, which missed, at the floored Italian when he hit the ground.
Henson has been cited by European Rugby Cup match commissioner Bill Dunlop on two counts, for striking and kicking an opponent, with the latter offence alone entailing a minimum punishment of a three-month ban.
If the hearing takes a dim view of the incidents it could throw the book at the centre, with the full three months sidelining him until March 19, a day after Wales’ final Six Nations clash, against France.
