Gavin Henson has RUINED the lives of thousands of Welsh people forever. Or something like that.
According to the Daily Mail (UK newspaper/rag/Nazi recruiting pamphlet) the Ospreys player “petulantly refused to join his teammates’ salute to the thousands of Wales supporters” after the narrow Welsh win against Italy at the weekend.
The headline for their match report was the incredible “Henson ruins the day by snubbing his own fans in Rome”.
Making fun of the Daily Mail for writing awful rugby reports is a bit like shooting fish in a barrel. And when we say shooting fish in a barrel we mean a large barrel. With no water in it. And only dead fish, not living ones. Dozens of them. And in shooting this barrel you are using a rocket launcher from about one foot away. Let’s just say it’s not exactly a paper with much of a rugby reputation.
The East Terrace feels contaminated by even picking up such a right-wing fascist rag as the Daily Mail, but in the interest of rugby journalism we felt we should address the latest bit of Henson Hysteria from the Mail’s Michael Folley.
