DUBLIN AFP: Cian Healy, Ireland’s most capped prop, became the latest high profile player to extend his contract with the Irish Rugby Football Union on Friday agreeing a one-year extension which runs until the end of the 2021/22 campaign.
The 33-year-old has 107 caps to his name since making his debut in 2009 -- despite coming close to retiring in 2015 due to a serious neck injury -- and passed John Hayes’s record of 105 during this Six Nations.
He was selected for the 2013 British and Irish Lions tour of Australia making two appearances before injury ended his involvement.
