Gibbes happy to utilise Healy

Jono Gibbes concedes that Irish prop Cian Healy struggled to contain his emotions when he stamped on the ruck-occupying ankle of England’s Dan Cole last Sunday.

Healy was handed a three-week ban from the IRB’s independent citing commission on Wednesday but Leinster intend to play him against Treviso tomorrow.

Gibbes has no fears about unleashing a player who, pending an IRFU appeal, will start his three-week ban, from midnight this Sunday.
