Henson: time right to topple English chariot

GAVIN Henson last night mirrored the mood of an expectant Welsh nation, by declaring: “It’s our best chance to beat England for a long time.”

Wales have not toppled their fierce rivals in Cardiff since 1993, when Ieuan Evans famously caught Rory Underwood napping to score the match-winning try.

But Henson, who had just celebrated his 11th birthday the last time England left Cardiff empty-handed, believes February 5, 2005, could become a red-letter day etched into Welsh rugby folklore.
