Williams and Henson on course for France clash

Rugby union world player of the year Shane Williams and Ospreys teammate Gavin Henson are both expected to be fit for Wales' crunch Six Nations match with France in Paris. The news is a major lift to the Welsh camp ahead of the game on February 27th. Williams missed the side's 23-15 win over England on Saturday with an ankle injury sustained in the opening match against Scotland. Henson, meanwhile, has yet to feature in the tournament after struggling to shake off a calf injury. Wales have never lost a Test match against a team from the northern hemisphere when the inside centre has started. In other injury news, Wales coach Warren Gatland is still waiting on Jamie Roberts, who is set to have a scan on a damaged shoulder within the next 24 hours. Roberts picked up the knock in the final minutes of the win over England. Wales are favourites in the rugby union betting to win the Six Nations tournament and former England international Jeremy Guscott has tipped them to complete a second successive Grand Slam.
