Welsh Rugby Union summons for Gavin Henson

GavinHenson Outspoken Wales and Lions centre Gavin Henson has been summoned before the Welsh Rugby Union for talks to clear the air.

Gavin Henson has criticised fellow Wales teammates and management as well as WRU officials in his new book My Grand Slam Year.

The book, which will be sold in the WRU's own shop, will be officially launched on Monday October 24 at the Millennium Stadium.

WRU chief executive David Moffett is reported to have said: "I'll be having face to face talks with Gavin and his agent to see if we can sort this out."

Gavin Henson, 23, is likely to miss Wales' four Tests in November as he recovers from groin surgery.

But Wales coach Mike Ruddock admits it could be tricky when, and if, Gavin Henson is reintegrated in the national squad.

"I believe he has a lot of ground to make up with them and other people who have supported him during the period of his career that he has spoken about," Mike Ruddock said.

"He has to prove he is the same team player. I know there are views and a debate going on about that now.

"We will have to see if he can do that. Part of our success has been based on Team Wales and I want to build on that concept, with players who understand it.

Gavin needs to prove, as an individual, that he can reach the standards he set last year."

Gavin Henson has become increasingly renowned for his activities away from the field of sport, including his relationship with Welsh pop singer Charlotte Church.
