HENSON AT SARRIES - NOT ANY MORE !

[backawaygoonahead]

For lovers of all things Henson - there must be somebody I see he has quit Sarries by "mutual consent" and is off to Toulon.

HENSON - the circus act that never stops giving.

Am sure Ospreys aren't happy - wasn't one of the reason he gave them for wanting out of his contract to be closer to his kids in London??

[29xThePain]

Not so sure whether Ospreys will be upset - he's constantly injured!

Kids or lambs?

That Gavin Henson ... he's an a**e ... and a money-grabbing mercenary .....

He is or he has?

If the latter, we all do.

If the former, we all knew that.

There's another thread on this in "Provincial an' aither teams" forum

I think it's more the case that despite Sarries assurances, he's not getting to play at 12 (or 10)
Farrell and Barritt have made those shirts their own...

whereas in Toulon JW will be missing for 6Ns, contepomi is injured. he should be getting some sort of a shot there.

and from what i've read of it, his deal with toulon is performance based only - so money grabbing doesnt come into it (unless the rent he'll save bumming it on jonny wilkinson's floor... hey jonny, while you're in england why dont i look after your pad, someone's gotta clean the pool...)

He'll be saving money as well on tanning products now that he can get a natural tan

I know its the "embarrassed" smilie but it is a good example of Monsieur Hensons tan getting better in the Mediterrean sun

Gavin Henson celebrated his debut for Toulon in the French championship by scoring his side's fourth try in a 38-10 home win over Stade Francais.

The 29-year-old crossed in the 67th minute and went on to complete the full 80 minutes at inside centre.

Henson had been out of action since January after injuring his calf playing for Saracens against Leinster.

Apparently Toulon are hoping to include him in the Heineken squad after the quarter final.

Thats pretty cocky of them

Not really how the assistant coach put it- if they progress past the next game he said- the failure to add any provisos was mine. Anyway they may well beat Perpignan.

[backawaygoonahead]

Especially smug since they couldn't bate eggs away from home. Perpignan will slaughter them.

[gannonman]

There was an interview with Henson in the rugby world magazine asking about all the dirt and he said the Toulon offer was too good to turn down. As long as he is getting good money and the Welsh set up can see him he does not care which club he plays for and that irritates me. Players like Wannenburg, Muller and Danielli have said that they love playing at Ulster and showing that loyalty to the club/province is important.

Have to agree, they are kak away from home.

It looks like he's been sacked from Toulon!
