'A lot of people say 'when you know, you know'. I can't relate to that yet'

IN THE IMMEDIATE aftermath of Leinster ’s Champions Cup semi-final defeat of Northampton Saints, Cian Healy found himself the centre of attention. It’s not the way he likes things, but it was an unavoidable aspect of a day where he came off the bench to become the most-capped player in the history of the Champions Cup.

“I have a very driven house at home, my wife is very driven in work and I’m very driven in here and I think it feeds in naturally at home, we support each other in that. So home-wise there was no question about it. Advertisement To put Healy’s longevity in some perspective, consider how old some of his current teammates were when he debuted for the province for 2007. There is much excitement in Leinster around the potential of young looseheads Michael Milne, Jack Boyle and Paddy McCarthy. Milne was just eight years old when Healy won his first Leinster cap. Boyle was five and McCarthy was a few weeks shy of his fourth birthday.

“They’re all their own people and they all have strong opinions, but they’ve all come to me and asked me for something and, like, I can’t tell them what’s right because everyone’s feel is different.“But what I would say would be like, ‘Here’s something I have done in the past that was shit, didn’t work. You can try it, but it didn’t work.’ Or ‘Here’s something that worked really well for me.’ But then I’ll say ‘What you’re doing looks well, does it feel good?’ And have a conversation like that.
