Henson polarises opinion and his off-field antics don't help. But against Italy, in his first Test start for a year because of injury, he showed glimpses of his talent and ability to read a game.

It was his drift from one side of a ruck to the other to create an extra man and time a pass to perfection that led to Shane Williams' try.

His intelligent overhead pass almost put in Jamie Roberts later on, and he offers a kicking option and sound defence.

VERDICT: Could be a match-winner or could be a liability as a tourist but certainly talented enough to make the party.
