Gavin Henson should be fit for Wales' SA tour

OSPREYS coach Lyn Jones expects Gavin Henson to be fit for Wales' summer tour of South Africa.

He made his prediction despite the Grand Slam hero, who missed Ospreys' EDF Energy Cup final triumph over Leicester Tigers at Twickenham last weekend with ankle trouble, sitting out next Saturday's Magners League clash with Munster in Cork.

"Gavin is not ready to return yet as a result of the ankle injury he suffered against Saracens in the Heineken Cup but I don't think it will affect his availability for Wales' tour of South Africa," said Jones.
