Cian Healy delighted to make Ireland return

Cian Healy reveals that his neck is "feeling all good" after coming through the final 20 minutes of Ireland's win over Canada at the Millennium Stadium.

Ireland loosehead prop Cian Healy has admitted that he is delighted to have made his return from an injury layoff.

The 27-year-old has suffered with neck problems for the past four months, but he was given the green light to feature in this afternoon's Pool D clash against Canada.

Having now put on the Ireland shirt for the first time in six months, being introduced from the bench for the final 20 minutes of the 50-7 victory in Cardiff, Healy was delighted to have come through unscathed.

"The neck is feeling all good," he told Sports Mole. "I'm happy to come through that first hurdle after a long time sat watching."

The Leinster ace also reserved some special praise for the Ireland supporters inside a packed Millennium Stadium, adding: "The noise inside the stadium was unbelievable. Once we get into those cut-throat games it will provide us with the extra help that we need."

Ireland return to action in eight days' time when they take on Romania at Wembley Stadium.
