Is it any wonder that the All Blacks are a tough bunch to break down?? I never realised that one of their newest stars, Sonny Bill Williams is a boxer in the first place, let alone his decision to resume his boxing career - alongside playing for New Zealand!! I was under the impression that modern professional players had too many games to play and as such their bodies needed a rest - not ole Sonny it seems!!Now when it comes down to the crunch - who would you rather face up to in the centre. Boxing Sonny or twinkle toes Gavin?
Well, if your Wales legend Phil Bennett and you're playing in the Six Nations next year then you may very well be facing up to Gav due to the injury Stephen Jones' suffered at the weekend. Now in his prime I agree, Henson is a good player - but at the moment he's not in his prime. Yes dancing has probably helped keep him fit, but surely he's going to need more than a month's worth of playing time to get back up to game speed?? Surely Wales can find someone else who's got a little more game time under their belt in the last 18 months that can fill a hole which may not even be there come February?
