Rugby star Gavin Henson has revealed that he drunk 20 pints of beer before being involved in a bar brawl with his teammate.

According to the Mirror, Henson, 31, revealed he wants to forget about his fracas with Bath teammate Carl Fearns which was captured on camera by surprised pub-goers.

The Welshman had been with the Premiership club for a month when Fearns punched him in a pub during a team bonding night in July, the report said.

Both players were fined and handed warnings by Bath after the incident, the report added.

Henson said that there was a lot of drink involved and that was his excuse, adding that after 20, 25 pints, anyone would have gone down.

He added that he wanted to have a charity boxing-match with Fearns at the end of the year, so he could get his respect back.
