Leinster unsure if Cian Healy will be made available

Leinster are unsure if Cian Healy could be made available to them for Saturday’s Guinness Pro12 clash against Cardiff Blues.

Though named in Ireland’s World Cup squad, doubts surround Healy’s match fitness following his longer than expected recovery from neck surgery undertaken at the end of last season.

Leinster coach Leo Cullen, whose side were defeated 9-16 away to Edinburgh last Friday night, would welcome Healy with open arms but is unclear on the exact protocols.
