Rugby news 12BET update 12/14


Henson in line for Cardiff debut

Gavin Henson could make his debut for Cardiff Blues in Friday's Heineken Cup clash against Edinburgh.


Henson signed an eight-month contract with Cardiff in October but he has yet to make an appearance for the Welsh side as he continues his recovery from a dislocated wrist.

The Wales centre had hoped to make his debut in the RaboDirect PRO12 over Christmas, but Cardiff Blues coach Gareth Baber has revealed he is slightly ahead of schedule and could face Edinburgh at Murrayfield.

"He has a little niggle in his hamstring but in terms of his hand he is back to where he needs to be and he will be available going forward. He will be in contention for the Dragons game and he is in contention for this week and could possibly be in the 23," Baber said.

"He is a quality player and has had the time to get himself together and do his rehab properly, and hopefully when he makes his return he will be right on top of what he needs to do as I am sure there will be a lot of attention around him when he makes his debut for us." - http://www.setanta.com
