Welsh star Henson ruled out of World Cup

GAVIN HENSON has been ruled out of the World Cup after failing to make the Wales squad for Saturday’s Test against England at Twickenham.

Henson has been struggling for fitness after suffering an Achilles injury in training, the latest in string of problems to affect him since the Lions tour in 2005.

Wales head coach Gareth Jenkins confirmed yesterday that Henson had run out of time to prove he would be ready for the tournament.
