IRFU Keeping Positive On Cian Healy's Fitness
Leinster and Ireland prop Cian Healy will be given every chance to prove his fitness ahead of the Rugby World Cup in September.
There were reports last week suggesting that the Irish loosehead was a doubt for the tournament in England and Wales, due to slow recovery from a neck operation he underwent last May.
Ireland forwards coach Simon Easterby revealed today that Luke Fitzgerald, Marty Moore, Sean Cronin and Healy are all progressing well in their return from surgery.
Reports from the IRFU's medical team are all positive according to Easterby
Meanwhile, Wales have included four debutants in their starting side ahead of the World Cup warm-up match against Ireland at the Millennium Stadium this Saturday.
