Ospreys likely to appeal Henson’s 10-week ban

OSPREYS officials look likely to appeal against the 10-week ban that has left Wales Grand Slam star Gavin Henson’s season in ruins.

And Wales coach Mike Ruddock must also pick up the pieces ahead of his team’s RBS Six Nations title defence, which begins against England at Twickenham on February 4.

Ruddock was already without injured Lion Ryan Jones and Brent Cockbain for the entire Six Nations campaign, while Henson will now miss appointments with England, Scotland and Ireland after being cited and found guilty of elbowing Leicester prop Alex Moreno during last weekend’s bitter Heineken Cup clash.
