Former Munster man thriving after making the switch to Gregor Townsend’s side.
IT’S A LONG way from Tipperary, says Scotland’s newest fly-half Ben Healy as he prepares to face South Africa in their Rugby World Cup opener on Sunday.
However, being Scottish qualified through his mother Maria , he made the switch to Edinburgh and was subsequently named in Gregor Townsend’s squad for the Six Nations. He made his debut in the final game against Italy.“When I look back on it, I say ‘Wow!’ said Healy. His family will be in France to cheer him on. While his mother was born in England, she moved back to the Scottish town of Turriff, 30 miles from Aberdeen, while still at nursery age. His father, Fergal, played for Young Munster and Nenagh Ormond.
“They will be coming out and they will be going back and forth. They are fully behind Scotland, there’s no question about that,” he said.“It’s really exciting, it flies by, it just all passes so quickly. Sometimes you get a chance to reflect but every week there’s a new challenge and something to look forward to and that’s where your focus is on.
