Hodgson rains points on Henson’s parade

GAVIN Henson was denied a winning debut for London Welsh by former England fly-half Charlie Hodgson, who scored all 28 points for Saracens in their 28-23 victory over London Welsh. Hodgson grabbed a first-half try, added the conversion and landed seven penalties from eight attempts in this Aviva Premiership game at the Kassam Stadium. 
Despite soaking up Saracens pressure for most of the match, Welsh had Sarries hanging on at the end after producing two breakaway tries from Canada wing Phil MacKenzie and full-back Tom Arscott.

Henson’s boot contributed their other 13 points as they collected a losing bonus point. In the day’s other Premiership encounter, Wasps held off a late Worcester charge to record a 10-6 win in a poor match at Adams Park. Wasps scored the only try through prop Simon McIntyre, converted by Stephen Jones, who added a penalty goal. Andy Goode replied with a penalty and a drop-goal for Worcester.
