P241 AERTEL 1 241 Wed 23 Feb 08:41:42 RTE 1/3 Cain Healy signs new Leinster deal 22 Feb 2022 18:01 Cian Healy looks set to continue playing until the next Rugby World Cup after agreeing a new contract to remain at Leinster. The 34-year-old prop's central contract with the IRFU had been due to expire this summer after he agreed a 12-month extension in 2021, but Andrew Porter's promotion to a national deal has seemingly taken Healy's place, and he will now return to provincial terms. Leinster have not revealed the length of his new contract, but even a one- year deal would bring Healy up to the summer of 2023 and just before next year's World Cup in France.
