British and Irish Lions

Umaga, who led the All Blacks to a 45-7 win over France in Paris two years ago, is currently playing out a lucrative three-month contract with second division French side Toulon.

Henry told The Dominion Post: "There's an invite for him to be involved with us to a limited extent.

"He won't probably play but it'll be good to see him, because he's held in very high regard by the guys and they find him very motivational and it would be good if he could be here.

"We did discuss before he left home the opportunity of coming here and coming to Paris (ahead of the second French test) and he was keen to do so if commitments allowed him."

Having become only the ninth Welshman to pick up a Heineken Cup winners medal, Gethin Jenkins is now getting ready for his next challenge - holding on to his British & Irish Lions Test spot.

Lions skipper Sam Warburton says the lessons he and his Welsh colleagues learnt in Australia last summer will stand them in good stead for their return visit with Britain and Ireland's elite next month.

Tom Youngs has enjoyed a remarkable rise to the top of the British & Irish game but he won't be resting on his laurels ahead of his first Lions adventure.
