“I feel great and, more importantly, so does my body,” said a delighted Henson.

“It couldn’t have gone better for me, to score a try and set up another was a great day. It’s a dream come true.

“I was a bit nervous before the game. It has been such a long time since I was out on the rugby pitch and almost two years since I started in the number 12 jersey, so it was great just to play the full 80 minutes.

“The fact it was such a stop-start game probably helped me in that respect.”

The 29-year-old did not appear for Wales in this year’s RBS 6 Nations but after an impressive debut for Toulon he will have done his chances of a recall no harm at all.

England’s Jonny Wilkinson was also instrumental in the win as he kicked 18 points for the home side who now sit sixth in the top 14 table.

When fully fit Wales have plenty of options in their backs and with Stephen Jones in line to win his hundredth cap against the Barbarians fly-half rival James Hook did not have the best of weekends for the Ospreys.

The 25-year-old, who is off to Perpignan this summer, missed a late drop-goal attempt as the Ospreys were forced to settle for a 21-21 draw with Glasgow Warriors in the Magners League.
