Cian Healy’s and *that* Flick

What is it with Irish players and producing genuine moments of footballing brilliance at the Millennium Stadium?

First, you had Simon Zebo’s off the cuff flick against the Welsh in an Irish win two years; and, on Saturday, Cian Healy showcased his footballing skills with a skillful flick of the ball in the pre match warm up.

Although it didn’t happen during the pressures and rigours of a game like Zebo, Healy’s skill, considering he’s a loosehead prop, was extremely impressive none the less.

It proved to be a frustrating day for Healy and the rest of his Irish team-mates- as Joe Schmidt’s charges slumped to a 23-16 defeat- but at least he can look back at this audacious piece of skill with a sense of pride.
