Gavin Henson is back with a bang! The rugby legend rolled back the years during a match for his hometown club, Pencoed, delivering a tackle that reminded everyone of his iconic 2005 hit on Mathew Tait. At 43, Henson showed rivals exactly why running down his channel is a risky move. Playing in Pencoed’s impressive 34-14 win over Morriston, he unleashed a big hit that had fans reminiscing about that unforgettable Six Nations game against England.
His Instagram post, along with a cheeky nod to the 2027 World Cup, had fans buzzing. Comments flooded in, drawing parallels to the Tait tackle. One thrilled fan exclaimed, “Tait all over again!”, while another chuckled, “Rolling back to that England game lol.” Even former Wales international Lee Jarvis chimed in with a supportive “Go on mate. Bosh.”
Henson hung up his professional boots in 2019, but his passion for the sport remains alive as he rejoined grassroots rugby with Pencoed. The club’s season in National League 2 West Central is off to a flying start, with them currently sitting in the promotion spot. Looks like there’s no stopping Henson’s magic touch on the field!
