Healey would rather wait for 50th England cap

AUSTIN HEALEY is in two minds about the prospect of joining one of England’s most exclusive rugby clubs on Saturday.

If the Leicester wing comes off the bench against South Africa at Twickenham, as he did in the dying minutes against both New Zealand and Australia, he will become the 14th England player to win 50 caps.

Half of him is desperate to share in hopefully another triumph over the southern hemisphere. The other half wants to wait to fulfil his dream of notching a half-century of appearances in the customary way by leading the team out.
