Gatland waits on Henson fitness

WALES head coach Warren Gatland admits it is a case of “wait and see” on Gavin Henson’s fitness for the Millennium Stadium showdowns against New Zealand and Australia.

Ospreys star Henson is set to undergo a scan and visit a specialist this week, as he seeks to address an ongoing achilles problem which meant he withdrew from Saturday’s narrow defeat at the hands of world champions South Africa less than 24 hours before kick-off.

He was not considered for this Friday night’s clash with Canada, raising concerns over his availability when New Zealand arrive on November 22 and then Australia seven days later.
