Henson gets Wales call-up despite injury worries

Gavin Henson has been named in the Welsh squad for Sunday's Six Nations game against Scotland despite there being question marks over his fitness.Henson has been struggling with a calf strain this week but looks set to plays at centre in the Murrayfield match as long as manages to pass a fitness test on Friday morning.Coach Warren Gatland commented: "Gavin just felt his calf tightening in training."He will have some treatment, there is a day off tomorrow [Thursday] and when he comes in on Friday we will make a decision."Wales are looking to follow in the footsteps of England in 1991 and 1992 and France in 1997 and 1998 by winning back-to-back Grand Slams.While they are the favourite to take the Six Nations crown for the second year in a row, they are not expected to win all five matches in the Rugby Union betting, with 'no winner' the most likely Grand Slam result, according to the odds.
