Henson lauds life with the Lions

GAVIN HENSON yesterday insisted that life with Clive Woodward’s Lions had been “a really good experience.”

And Henson admitted he cannot wait to tackle the All Blacks again when New Zealand launch their British and Irish tour against Six Nations champions Wales in Cardiff on November 5.

Wales centre Henson was controversially ignored by Woodward for the first Test in Christchurch earlier this summer.
