GAVIN Henson will celebrate sending the soar-away Ospreys to a second successive Twickenham final in his own inimitable fashion – by having an overdue haircut. The centre intends heading straight for the hairdressers to "start looking good again."
Saracens, smashed 30-3 by their EDF Energy Cup semi-final conquerors, can only hope he doesn't emerge in time to have another crack at wrecking Saracens' season.

The teams meet again on 6 April with a Heineken Cup semi-final place at stake. And even though Saracens can enjoy home advantage next time – Vicarage Road, rather than the Millennium Stadium – Henson and his fellow Wales Grand Slam stars might have already inflicted irreparable damage.

Saracens rugby director Alan Gaffney admitted his team had suffered "a hammering" after two tries by Shane Williams and Henson's all-round excellence underpinned the success.

Henson said: "I am just chuffed to win man-of-the match. I haven't won one since 2005, and it had been playing on my mind. I haven't cut my hair since, so I am going to get it cut now!"

The Ospreys can now look forward to a 12 April Twickenham rematch with Leicester. The Tigers triumphed 41-35 in last season's EDF final.

The gap between the organisation and success of the other countries' domestic teams and Scotland is even bigger than the gap between international 6N teams (apart from Italy) and Scotland. So yes, let's clone Henson, Cipriani (Scottish choices at No 10 are 'extremly limited' shall we say)and a few others.

As a matter of fact, Henson's father once visited Scotland......
