Recovering Cian Healy on target for World Cup

Ireland and Leinster prop Cian Healy is satisfied his recovery from neck surgery is on target and he will be fit for the Rugby World Cup.

Healy has returned to pre-season work and is delighted to be back on the training paddock “It was just complete force rest to give everything the best chance,” he told Ryan Tubridy on 2FM.

“Now we’re back into building up the muscle, and kind of build a protection layer.” Although the current sessions are short in nature, there is still plenty of intensity to his training routine.
