Henson targets December return

Gavin Henson is targeting a return to action in December where he hopes to make his debut for Cardiff Blues in one of their Heineken Cup ties against Edinburgh.

Henson joined the Blues from RC Toulonnais after a short spell with the French side, where he was released from his contract earlier in May.

The 29-year-old dislocated his wrist whilst playing for his country against England in August during Wales 19-9 victory over Martin Johnson's side. The injury ruled the Welshman out of this year's World Cup in New Zealand and has delayed his debut for his new club.

Henson will have his competition in the Blues back-line with Casey Laulala and Jamie Robert both in good form this season. Those following the most up to date sports betting will know this.

Gareth Baber will have the option of using Henson as a fly-half, but Dan Parks has made the number 10 shirt his own this year.

Cardiff have made a great start to their Heineken Cup campaign after winning their opening two games of their group, first against Racing Metro in Paris and then at home to London Irish.

Baber's side have also made a solid start to the RaboDirect Pro12 season, winning five of their opening eight games. The Blues sit in third place, just one point behind leaders Ospreys.

The Welsh side will play host to Edinburgh in the European completion on December 9, they will then travel up to Scotland for the return fixture a week later. Both sides are unbeaten so far in the group so it is likely decide the winners of Pool 2.

The Scottish side have a one point advantage going into the double-bill after picking up a bonus point in one of their two victories.
