Top blokes other than him by the sound of it. To be fair though, I'd probably be pissed off all the time if I had his hairstyle.

If I married a famous nympho pop starlet and she turned into a kebab munching fattie, I'd be angry with the world.

Maybe someone used his beauty products? I'm pretty sure that would annoy me if I was him.

I only hope that when he was throwing his money around, someone said to him "that's not yours, it's hers".

When a guy succeeds in making Mike Phillips look like a nice guy, he must be doing something wrong.

A friend of mine at uni has seen him out in Swansea a couple of times. Apparantly he's of the "don't you know who I am?!" brattish type celebrity, expecting to be treated as some sort of god.

I really don't understand the hype. Henson has only really been immense in one international game (vs. England '05) and has somehow managed to preserve that reputation since. I'll concede he played quite well last Six Nations, but on the whole he isn't world class.

Perhaps the reason he is still so much in the public eye is more to do with the fact his marriage is the rugby equivalent of the Beckhams.

I was in school with him, year below me. Ever since he started playing for Swansea, he's had that arrogant behaviour about him. Another guy I knew better from school was one of the idiots who ended up pissing himself on that train they got back from London last year, ending up in a court case.

Also, last year, they went out to whet the baby's head in Bridgend and ended up getting banned from two pubs for their own safety after he started slagging off anyone wanting their photos taken with him, and stamping on someone's phone.

Cracking bloke really.

By all accounts Henson is a total knob. Though I understand that in training he doesn't hang with the players, preferring to eat with the other staff. Maybe they thibnk he's a cock as well.

@Merlinho - what's the problem with Mike Phillips? Is he a cock too?

Phillips has a large amount of arrogance about him apparently. Although I must say I haven't met him, so will stand corrected if anyone knows otherwise.

The rumour about what happened when he got beaten up in Cardiff a few months ago points in the cock direction, as does other things I've heard though.

Still, I suppose when you're voted Most Eligible Batchelor in Wales, and have women flocking to you wherever you go, a hint of arrogance may grow.

Philips is a handsome guy, he probably gets loads of flak from people. What's the rumour about him when he got beaten up then? I mean I know he got beaten up badly, but why?

It's very much rumour, so you have mail.

Getting excited now about the match tomorrow. Whoever decided to schedule it on Friday night needs to be shot though, it doesn't help the travelling supporters or the players. Out in Cardiff works drinks, the place is going to be chaos!

What a fucking stupid day to have an international. All I can say.

Thanks for the PM btw Merlinho - sorry for delay, don't ever check my inbox.

The amount of English rugby fans in my Gym/Pool this morning was incredible. They didn't seem like right assholes either... I know.. I was suprised too!

I'm not condoning drug abuse, but i feel that his ban is a touch harsh when compared to Seru Rabeni, who only got 6 months for gouging someone's eye.

If Wales lose and England win tomorrow, I assume that means that the tournament is wide open?

Yup.

Epic stuff in the Wales France match though.

Wow, what a finish - never thought I'd be excited by watching a Wales v France rugby match.

This makes the England match tomorrow far, far more interesting!

Fucksake. Where was the Welsh team that showed up in the last 10 mins for the rest of the match?

Great finish though, you gotta admit. They deserved a try at the end.

Hell of a finish, fully deserved for the French. We didn't get any phases going at all and their kicking was in a different league tonight. Got to root for England to upset the Irish tomorrow or else it looks as though we're going to need to put a hatful of tries past Italy then do the Irish in Cardiff to win this thing.
