What a complete and utter embarrassment to rugby and Wales alike - you are a twunt Henson.... :cuss: :banghead: :banghead:

The thing that really pi**es me off about this guy is that he has a natural God given talent for the game that others less fortunate would die for - he then just throws it away despite being given chance after chance to redeem himself. :tosser:

Should have followed Lyn Jones to Newport-Gwent Dragons instead of chasing the $$ again...... Jones I think is perhaps the one guy who could control him.

Anywho - to the punch as they say!!

Henson this morning found himself at the centre of a club investigation after reports emerged of the altercation on Wednesday night.

And WalesOnline has now uncovered footage of the moment Henson clashed with his new colleague at the Pig and Fiddle pub.

The former Lions star can be seen arguing with back rower Carl Fearns before he is sensationally punched to the ground as a lively team night out turned sour.

The 31-year-old was part of a group of players enjoying an evening at the Pig and Fiddle pub in the city centre when police were called following an alleged altercation, according to the Bath Chronicle.

Eye-witnesses described witnessing 'disgusting' behaviour on Wednesday night, and Bath rugby chief Nick Blofeld immediately announced a probe into the matter.

There's a video of the incident on this link http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-23286282 . He goes down like a sack of spuds :laugh:

[Edit] Sorry, pharvey's video link didn't work for me earlier - it's fine now. Still, you can't have too much of a good thing :wink:

To pharvey,
Just want to say a big thanks for your Rugby thread. I try to keep up with the games, especially Internationals, but time difference here in Saudi and work commitments do not always allow it, so it is good to read the threads here, and if I ever reach retirement ( fat chance!! :roll: ) your advice on viewing in HH will come in very handy!!
Did manage the Lions last week though, fantastic result and good game, my voice is just coming back now!!
All the best from the litterbox. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

It goes to show the lack of intelligence shown by Henson, who in their right mind as a back, would pick a fight with a forward?

OK, early I know, but for those interested - fixtures for the November internationals. No matches for England or Ireland which is a pity...... although the Welsh would probably be blamed if BOD was not playing!! :duck:

Kicking off on August 17th, is the "Rugby Championship"..... previously known as the Tri-Nations, but now with the addition of Argentina makes for a far greater spectical.

I've not set up an HH league yet, as Wendyball kicks off on the same date and I realise the problems some supporters of the round ball game may have attempting to do 2 things at once... :neener:

However, should anyone fancy following the game played in Heaven and a wonderful tournament, let me know and I'll set the league up.

Have/will you set up a league?

If it is, I suspect it's more of a Wendyball song than a rugby song...
