walshie 2,804 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Cian Healy has offically been let off with biting Sheehan. After stamping on Cole's ankle in the 6 nations I'm surprised that "insufficent evidence" got him off, TBH. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/international/britishandirishlionsrugby/10105111/Lions-2013-Cian-Healy-cleared-of-biting-following-allegations-from-Brett-Sheehan-in-Western-Force-match.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnny boy68 11,726 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 He's being sent home now anyway, ligament damage. Great player but as a very suspect temprement, something that the Lions don't need. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great player but as a very suspect temprement, something that the Lions don't need. I reckon Corbiseiro is up to the job anyway. He hasn't played for almost 12 months though but a good all round prop on his day. They've also called Ryan Grant up aswell for cover for Jenkins who's going to miss tomorrows game. Prop Ryan Grant has been called up from Scotland’s tour of South Africa. Grant will fly from Durban this evening and arrive in Brisbane tomorrow following the injuries to Jenkins and Cian Healy. The Irishman will return home on Sunday after a scan revealed significant ligament damage around the ankle. The recovery time is expected to exceed the duration of the tour. British & Irish Lions Head Coach Warren Gatland said: “Firstly, our thoughts are with Cian. It has been a day of mixed emotions for him after being quite rightly being cleared of foul play but then the scan revealing the extent of the damage to his ankle. He has made a big contribution on and off the field in the last two weeks and we wish him well in his recovery. “Given Cian’s injury we have decided to bring Ryan in. He has played well in the RaboDirect Pro 12 this season and for Scotland in the RBS Six Nations and we look forward to him and Alex Corbisiero arriving tomorrow.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites
