Ireland return delights in-form Sheahan

FRANKIE SHEAHAN’S season might have been slow to gather momentum, but the Munster hooker is hitting a rich vein of form that has earned the 30-year-old a place on the Ireland squad that tours Argentina this month.

The Cork man suffered a serious neck injury against Sale Sharks in October 2005 that kept the 27-times capped Ireland hooker sidelined for the remainder of Munster’s Heineken Cup winning season.

Sheahan, who last lined out for Ireland against Japan in June 2005, is thrilled to be amongst the 30-man squad that will play two tests against the Pumas on May 26 and June 2.
