Cian Healy 'asked to leave team flight' in South Africa

Leinster prop Cian Healy had to take a separate flight from his teammates to Cape Town yesterday after he was told to leave the plane.

According to Leinster, the incident happened after a “misunderstanding around the use of a laptop”.

“Leinster Rugby can confirm that Cian Healy was asked to leave yesterday afternoon's flight from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town,” a team statement read.

“The issue related to a misunderstanding around the use of a laptop during the approach to take off.

“Cian apologised sincerely to all concerned at the time for any inconvenience caused.

“He re-joined the squad last night in Cape Town and trained today in Bishop's College.“
