IRELAND HAVE CONFIRMED that experienced loosehead prop Cian Healy is now on their World Cup standby list after completing a remarkable recovery from the calf injury that prevented him from being included in Andy Farrell’s squad for the tournament.
“It wasn’t easy getting here, but happy the body still knows how to recover ahead of schedule,” wrote Healy. ”Looking forward to getting back to it and will be forever grateful to those who got me to this point.” Kearney said the Ireland coaches have been keeping an eye on events at home where the provinces have been playing each other in pre-season friendly games, which were encouraged by the IRFU.
“There’s a mini-interprovincial series going on. The likes of Jamie Osborne, Gavin Coombes, and Kieran Treadwell are getting regular game time.Ireland resumed training in Tours on Thursday after Andy Farrell gave his players three days off in the wake of their win over South Africa last weekend.
