‘Beast’ Healy gets ready to rumble

IF you think Cian Healy looks intimidating on the pitch, you should see him on the road.

Plucked out of the hat for media duties earlier this week, the man some call ‘Beast’ pulled up to the Bective Rangers clubhouse in Donnybrook in a mammoth, American-style, metallic silver Ford pick-up truck.

Simon Keogh’s sponsored Opel disappeared in its shadow but, eye-catching as Healy’s ‘wheels’ are, there is no taking away from his performances for Leinster this season. He has worked his very own groove in the front row.
