Healy out for eight weeks confirms O’Connor

There was bad news for Leinster and Ireland this afternoon as prop Cian Healy faces up to 8 weeks on the sidelines and could miss the start of the RBS Six Nations.

Healy was a late withdrawal from the 40-7 win over the Northampton Saints in the first of back to back Heineken Cup games with an ankle problem, which the 26 year-old has since had surgery on.
