Ireland begin their Six Nations title defence on Saturday, February 1 at home to England, with interim boss Simon Easterby leading the team during Andy Farrell’s sabbatical with the British and Irish Lions. “Please God now I can keep playing and don’t get injured or anything like that and Simon might consider me for the Six Nations.” Healy, who is nicknamed ‘Church’ by team-mates, made his debut against the Wallabies 15 years earlier and has helped Ireland win five Six Nations championships. “ very happy we got a win on the occasion and I got a few things right when I was on, so that’s pretty pleasing.” Healy was presented with his milestone cap by Irish Rugby Football Union president Declan Madden at the end of week when team-mates spent time watching highlights of his debut and former Ireland fly-half Ollie Campbell presented commemorative jerseys to the team to mark 150 years of Irish rugby.
