Either way, Healy will equal O’Driscoll’s number of 133 Irish caps if he comes off the bench against Argentina on Friday. Modesty becomes Healy. Humility, lack of fuss and, after years of a team-first attitude, discomfort surround discussing a personal mark that could endure for many years.England coach Richard Wigglesworth unsure as to Felix Jones’ role in South Africa preparations“Like 100th-cap week was probably the worst week of my career for how I felt,” says Healy.
“Like, it’s very different between Drico and me,” he says. “I wasn’t ever and will never be the player that he was, so it is separated in that immediately. I take pride in the durability and being able to show up. That’s something I do hold myself to a bit. Training sessions and enjoying the hard work of week in and week out, year in and year out. I have enjoyed that.”
“Just my mobility and looking after myself,” he says. “If there is anything bugging me, I don’t sit on it. I have a proactive approach to it. All of that then works into a routine for me which winds me down for the evening, to get to sleep. There’s a whole combination of flexibility and working on my body, wind down and stuff.
