Gavin Henson made his latest comeback to rugby with his debut for new club Cardiff Blues, as they claimed a 28-9 victory against Newport Gwent Dragons to move back into the play-off places. While Henson got his Blues career off to a winning start, he really only played a minor role in his side’s victory, although was solid in http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifmost that he did.
The next step for the versatile back will be to establish himself in this Blues team, something that would enhance Henson’s chances of getting back into the Wales team ahead of the Six Nations. The 29-year old started at full-back against the Dragons but will be hoping to get a chance back in the centres in the coming weeks. Anyone placing a rugby bet should keep an eye on his progress.
His place at the World Cup was ruined by an arm injury, although, it would have been a brave call for Warren Gatland to have included Henson after so little rugby in recent years.
The Welshman has made it clear he is determined to re-launch his career, rehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifvealing he is targeting playing at the next World Cup in 2015.
"There's a Lions tour in two years’ time and obviously I really want to go to a World Cup, so I'm going to do everything I can to be on that next one.”
"Just looking after myself and trying to play as long as possible. Because being back involved in rugby over the last year or so, I really enjoy it.”
A good run of form for the Blues over the next couple of weeks could well see him sneak into contention for the Six Nations; something that would have seemed impossible this time last year.
