Ospreys silent on mystery ban for Wales star Henson

BANNED Wales star Gavin Henson looks to have fallen foul of the Ospreys’ stringent player conduct code.

Henson has been axed from the Welsh region’s opening Heineken Cup games against Leicester and Perpignan. And the suspension could also impact on his immediate international prospects, given that last season’s RBS Six Nations champions launch their autumn campaign against South Africa in just four weeks.

The high-profile centre has been omitted from tomorrow’s Welford Road clash — and Perpignan’s Swansea visit this day week — because of what the Ospreys term “a rugby-related disciplinary decision.”
