By the time Henson arrives, though - leaving his Audi sportscar outside the front door but taking the keys with him so the minion delegated to move it to the car park is left helpless (and a little irritated) - the atmosphere has lightened.
Henson is, of course, much more than a good-looking boy from a classic Welsh rugby background who can play a bit - his maternal grandfather and father played for Maesteg and his several uncles on his mother's side were all steeped in the game.
Henson's own contentment has been helped by establishing himself as the No 12, after the long identity crisis of whether he should be fly-half, centre, wing or full-back.
