Six Nations Rugby: Gavin Henson Ruled Out of Six Nations With Knee Injury

Gavin Henson's slim hopes of playing in this season's RBS Six Nations Championship are over.
Gavin Henson's hopes of playing in this season's RBS Six Nations Championship are over. The Welsh centre has not started a Test for Wales since the autumn series opener against Australia four months ago, and a second scan on his injured knee last night revealed a strained posterior cruciate ligament, meaning a lay-off of between three and four weeks.

The 20 times-capped Ospreys star has not been part of Wales coach Gareth Jenkins' plans during the current Six Nations campaign, despite his team losing successive games against Ireland, Scotland and France. Henson now faces a race to be fit for the Ospreys' EDF Energy Cup semi-final clash against Cardiff Blues at the Millennium Stadium on March 24.
