SWANSEA - Wales and Lions rugby centre Gavin Henson was charged today with disorderly conduct by police over a drunken disturbance on a train.
The 25-year-old Henson was one of four men involved in the incident on a train from London to Cardiff on December 2 as he
travelled home after scoring all the points in Ospreys' 19-8 Anglo-Welsh Cup win at Harlequins.
Passengers complained that the group were drunk, abusive and rowdy, and that one of them urinated on the carriage floor
Henson, who started his first Wales match in a year against South Africa last month, is out of action for up to six weeks because of a broken left hand. He will miss his team's remaining games in the Heineken Cup, European club rugby's premier competition, but should be available for Wales' Six Nations opener at England on February 2.
His club said he hurt his hand at Harlequins, but British papers have speculated that he was injured while punching a friend while on the train.
