Cian Healy free to play for Leinster against Toulon

Cian Healy will be on the Leinster bench for tomorrow's European Champions Cup match against Toulon.

After lodging an appeal against his two-week ban yesterday, the tournament organisers have agreed that Healy is free to play until the outcome of his appeal hearing.

The player was initially cited for striking with the knee during last week's trip to the south of France but he ended-up being punished under a different dangerous play law, which was never raised during the disciplinary hearing.

Healy takes the place of Michael Bent on the bench.

Fergus McFadden and Isaac Boss have both been ruled-out through injury for Leinster which means that there are starts for Dave Kearney and Eoin Reddan.

20-year-old Nick McCarthy will provide scrum-half cover.
