Unfortunately Henson has been ruled out of the Rugby World Cup in 2011 due to an achilles injury.

Seems a long way out to have made the decision on such a good player.

Although suffering injury at the time, Henson looked very god in the time he was on the field for the Loins in the 2005 tour of New Zealand.

Hopefully a strong start to the 2009-2010 season will see the selectors give him another chance.
