A major scrap is developing between two prominent rugby players in the UK, as the fallout from the Lions tour continues in Britain.
Wales star Gavin Henson is releasing a tell-all book this weekend about the ill-fated tour, and he has rounded on teammates, as well as having a major
crack at Sir Clive Woodward and Lions spin doctor, Alistair Campbell.
Lions skipper Brian O'Driscoll is about to come in for some treatment as well.
England based rugby writer Paul Reese says more excerpts from the book are due to published in the next day or so, with Henson expected to unload on his Lions captain as the two did not get on during the tour to New Zealand.
Reese says Henson is not too smart in rounding on Lions teammates, given he has a long future in rugby, and points out that O'Driscoll has already gone on the offensive, saying if Henson had a problem with Lions players, he should confront them face on.
O'Driscoll is due to release his own book soon.
All Lions players signed agreements not to reveal touchy tour subjects until at least 100 days after the trip, but Henson's book has come out inside that time frame.
However, it is unlikely he will be fined.
