Cian Healy on mend and may be fit for World Cup, says Mick Kearney

Ireland squad manager Mick Kearney insists Cian Healy’s recovery from neck surgery is “coming on fine”.

The Leinster star underwent a procedure to repair a neck desk in May but there are fears he may not be fit in time for next month’s Rugby World Cup.

Reports last week claimed that Healy has experienced numbness and has been unable to make a fist after the operation.
