No Healy but Zebo gets another shot at full-back

Cian Healy will have to come cold to the World Cup later this month after the Leinster loosehead was omitted from the Ireland team to face England in the last of the four warm-up games, in Twickenham on Saturday.

Held back all summer due to the after-effects of neck surgery, the word from camp has for some time been that of a man making steady progress, but he will again watch on from afar this weekend.

Jack McGrath instead starts at loosehead in a strong side - one that is close to full-strength - with the other notable point being that of Munster’s Simon Zebo who starts at full-back ahead of Rob Kearney who is also omitted from the bench.
