Ireland prop Cian Healy is fit for Saturday's Six Nations Grand Slam clash with England at Twickenham, the IRFU has announced.

The Leinster player appeared unsteady on his feet after a heavy clash in Ireland's 28-8 win over Scotland on Saturday that sealed a third Six Nations title in five years.

A statement on Monday read: “Cian Healy suffered a stinger-like injury to the shoulder/trapezius area.

“He experienced some discomfort on the field and received the appropriate treatment. Cian will train fully this week.”
