Ireland will keep cool at Aviva, insists Cian Healy

Cian Healy insists Ireland will not let their desperation for a first RBS 6 Nations victory cloud their judgement in Saturday’s clash with Italy in Dublin.

Frustrated Healy admitted Ireland have been hit hard by two defeats and a draw in their failed bid for a third successive Six Nations title.

The Leinster prop vowed Ireland will not desert long-held principles against the Azzurri, however, despite the pressing need for a win at the Aviva Stadium.
