Cian Healy has surely had crazier birthday celebrations than this

Must be getting old

Patrick McCarry

Cian Healy is 28-years-old and one day, today.

The streamers have settled and the cakes have been digested. Time, now, to burn off the calories and focus on Sunday’s meeting with France.

The Leinster loosehead spent a novel way celebrating his birthday, on Wednesday.

While most folks would be planning a trip to the cinema, making an embarrassing speech in the office or heading for a few drinks after work, Healy has feet up. Quite literally.

He spent the afternoon watching South Africa fillet a hapless, spent United States while his leg muscles recovered in compression boots.

The fancy piece of kit, designed by NormaTec, using pulsing technology to send fluids circulating throughout legs and aids recovery.

Healy would certainly need all the help he can get after beasting it in the gym earlier this week.

One would imagine that dropping the TV remote control would be a right pain.
