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.

So were intercepts but players (no doubt coached like Carios says above) started cutting out the classic draw and pass with no intent to catch the ball..

I don't really know how big the welsh union is but I would have thought a head coach could get heavily involved in what type of player and rugby they were going to encourage in the country.
