Henson could miss 6 Nations

WALES star Gavin Henson could miss the entire RBS 6 Nations after being called before a disciplinary hearing for his clash with Alex Moreno during the Ospreys’ 17-15 Heineken Cup defeat by Leicester.

Moreno was left with a broken nose after Henson reacted badly to a swinging arm from the Leicester prop before aiming a kick, which missed, at the floored Italian Henson has been cited by European Rugby Cup match commissioner Bill Dunlop on two counts for striking and kicking an opponent, with the latter offence alone entailing a minimum punishment of a three-month ban.

If the hearing takes a dim view of the incidents, they could throw the book at the 23-year-old centre, with the full three months sidelining him until March 19 a day after Wales' final Six Nations clash, with France.
