[QUOTE="loratadine, post: 64169"] ok, i can understand where alot of you are coming from, that Gavin from the outside appears arrogant and unproffesional. But ive got to admire Henson's honesty, he certainly doesn beat around the bush and he definitely tells people, straight up how hes feeling. Too many players now adays act all gentlemanly and dont speak what they really think, gavin said what is on his heart, when asked if wales could beat england, henson replied that he fully expected wales to beat england. That may appear big headed, but to win those sort of games, the whole team must be in the mindset that they will win that game. If henson had replied, "ummmmm..... im not really sure, there a great team....and itll be hard......but well give it out..best.....shot." people would be slating him for being unconfidence and not having the right attitue to play rugby. Henson has an oppinion and he sticks by it, granted most people dont agree with him, but in this society of robot created sports personalities, a person who doesnt care what people think of what he says should be encouraged not frowned upon..... After all society has moved on, and having youre own opinion should not be frowned upon. As flamingo has said Gavin Henson as had a massive impact in rugby. Children in wales, and even England are taking rugby up because they admire Henson. He looks good and feels good, and he appeals to the nature of every working class person that they can make someting of themselves. Children who play rugby aspire to be like Gavin. [/QUOTE]
