Cardiff Blues sacking puts Henson’s career in jeopardy

Gavin Henson’s rugby career could be over after he was sacked by the Cardiff Blues following his drunken behaviour on a flight back from Glasgow on Saturday morning.

The 33-cap Wales centre, 30, had already been suspended by the club due to his antics as the Blues returned home after their 31-3 hammering at the hands of the Warriors in Friday’s RaboDirect PRO12 encounter.

Henson subsequently issued an apology for his behaviour and admitted he had been out drinking following the match and had continued to drink on the flight.
