If there is one positive thing that England fans can possibly take from their sides disappointing defeat in Ireland it is this almighty collision between two heavyweights of the prop forward world, Dan Cole and Cian Healy.
With Ireland leading 19-6 and England in the process of throwing the kitchen sink at Irish, the English prop picked up the ball from a ruck and made his way across the field where he went headfirst into Healey.
The collision sent Healy flying, however both men lived to tell the tale. If rumors are to be believed Cole actually singled out Healey after the Irish prop supposedly ‘stamped’ on him in a previous ruck.
One thing is for certain however, Healy was certainly punished for trying to tackle around the chest! Young rugby players take note!
Being proud of a scumbag move by Cole well done England!!!
I don’t think it’s something to be proud of. Dangerous play. Poor example for young rugby players. Cole can hurt Healy legally and has the skills to do it.
