Cian Healy ejected from Leinster's flight to Cape Town
By Online Editors
Leinster's Cian Healy was asked to disembark a flight from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town yesterday.
A statement released by the club states that:
"Leinster Rugby can confirm that Cian Healy was asked to leave yesterday (Sunday) afternoon's flight from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town."
"The issue related to a misunderstanding around the use of a laptop during the approach to take off."
"Cian disembarked the plane and took the next available flight to Cape Town with the same airline. 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."
It is the second Leinster faux pas on their two-week tour of South Africa after Isa Nacewa and Gibson-Park were denied entry to South Africa.
Leinster Rugby put this down to an administrative error where they forgot to apply for the visa required for New Zealand nationals entering South Africa.

I'd rate the brothers Hendricks a point or two lower. Jaden has really not delivered on his early promise and Jordan's kicking at posts was quite erratic. Amongst other things.
I was really surprised that DuhDuh was replaced and not Jordan. DuhDuh had a great game and just underlined his class in a backline that was not firing on all cylinders.
Damian Willemse was missed. Hopefully he'll be back to full fitness and have an injury free 2025 (and '26 and '27 and so on until he decides to retire to spend time with his grandchildren).
RG was great. What an athlete.
Very happy that Hanekom made his debut at last. He gave a good account of himself and will hopefully grow into his role on the international stage.
All things considered, this was another frustrating Bok performance. Even though it was a comfortable win, it wasn't a commanding win. This Welsh team should've been put away by a far larger margin.
But I have faith in Dr Rassie. He knows more than I do. Bring on 2027 😁
