Gavin Henson awaits fate

Gavin Henson faces an anxious wait to discover whether his Toulon career is over after meeting club officials today to discuss his suspension for a nightclub brawl with his team-mates.

The French side are expected to announce the outcome of their disciplinary process on Friday, although there have already been reports they are set to cut their ties with the Welsh centre. Team manager Tom Whitford said: "We've had a meeting with Gavin and we'll take a bit of time to reflect before making any announcement."

Henson, who has only played twice for Toulon since his arrival in February, also faces a Welsh Rugby Union probe into his one-week suspension over an incident that took place earlier this month.

The 29-year-old was yesterday summoned to a meeting with the WRU, along with one-time Wales team-mate Andy Powell, who is currently suspended by Wasps while they investigate the circumstances of a pub brawl involving the back-rower.

Henson joined Toulon on a short-term contract, hoping to convince head coach Philippe Saint-Andre to give him a new two-year deal, as well as reviving his Wales career ahead of the World Cup.

He last played for Wales in the 2009 RBS Six Nations before a combination of personal problems and injuries prompted him to take unpaid leave from the Ospreys.
