Nic Henderson has been a consistent performer for the CA Brumbies over the past five seasons. The loosehead prop, who recorded his 50th Super Rugby cap in the final round of the 2007 season, has not missed a match for the CA Brumbies since making his debut in Week One of the 2004 Super 12 against the Blues at Canberra Stadium. Henderson continued his impressive record in 2008 starting each match for the CA Brumbies during the Investec Super 14 season and was recognised as the side’s Forward of the Year. After being overlooked for Wallaby and Australia A selection, he returned to anchor the scrum for Southern Districts in Sydney’s Shute Shield, packing down alongside CA Brumbies team mate Guy Shepherdson. Now an established part of the CA Brumbies, Henderson has taken up a role in the CA Brumbies’ senior leadership group alongside Stirling Mortlock, George Smith, Stephen Hoiles, George Smith, Clyde Rathbone, and Mark Gerrard.

Born in Millmerran, Queensland, Henderson moved to Wagga Wagga as a child where he took up rugby league for Turvey Park. He attended Kooringal High School before winning a contract with the Melbourne Storm in 2000. After two seasons of rugby league, where he spent the majority of his time with Storm feeder club Norths in Brisbane, Henderson switched to rugby. He made an immediate impression in his first season with the Canberra Vikings and was rewarded with selection in the Australian Under 21’s. He was signed to a full contract with the CA Brumbies the following year to develop his game alongside Wallaby props Bill Young and Ben Darwin. Henderson made his Super 12 debut in the opening round of the 2004 season against the Blues before going on to make his Test debut for the Wallabies in their 29-14 win over the Pacific Islanders in Adelaide. He went on to further Tests against Samoa (won 74-7) in Sydney in 2005 and was a member of the side that defeated Italy 25-18 in Rome during the 2006 Spring

Wonder if Keiran is working on his Hookers skills, take a lesson out of Boof's story...

Wouldn't know about that Burgs. RWA in their wisdom have sent him to Easts in Sydney.

Comes as a bit of surprise doesn't it? Good news though. Definitely an equal swap for Takiari and a good few years younger too.

[GIGS20]

Holy shit, we're swapping the comp's best backline for a tilt at the comp's best frontrow....don't know wherther we've quite got it sewn up on paper, but it's a complete turnaround from last year.

I wonder whether the team will do better, or whether we've just decided to play the 10 man game!

[jombi]

Apparently Millmerran is in QLD, and the ponies webmaster is very lazy.

We only had the best backline on paper, Gitaeu was too allover the place to be considered the best play maker in 09.

Atleast with Pretorius we know what we're getting and he is consistant with his drop-goal attempts.

[GIGS20]

Agree with every breath Jombi, but my thoughts on Gits as a ten are well known and oft debated.

I'm still a little worried by the look of what's being built though. I'll be till I die, but I won't like it much if the ball never gets past the #10.

Surely a Kiwi World Cup coach won't inflict us with that!

As an allblacks supporter and someone who gets extremely depressed every 4 years it wouldn't surprise me if Mitchell did something like that.

He (Mitchell) killed Taine Randell & Christian Cullens career, let's just pray to god he doesn't develop a personal issue with O'Connor.

[The Ethicist]

Pretorius will run the ball. He will blossom under Mitchell after throwing off the tether of RSA politics and sh1t game plans. Pretorius unfettered. Pretorius about to cut loose

PS Henderson is sh1te. A waste of good mula

Hopefully just for the off-season?

[GIGS20]

Henderson's our Number 4 prop ethicist, he's more than capable Of warming the bench if and when Dunning's hurt. He'll also make a reasonable partner for Kieran in scrum training

[The Ethicist]

Another prop that can't scrum

Oz rugby should have a prop review board

Henderson should be banned

[KenyaQuin]

He (Mitchell) killed ... Christian Cullens career...

Jombi, you just had to bring it up

[The Ethicist]

Cullen was a world cup failure a year past his best
Muiliana, Howlett and Smokin Joe were untouchable in 2003
As usual, Mitchell made all the right moves. It wasn't his fault Umaga was hurt
