Ireland appeal against Healy suspension
(Reuters) - The Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) has formally appealed against a three-week suspension handed to prop Cian Healy after he stamped on England's Dan Cole in their Six Nations championship second-round match this month.
"The appeal relates to, among other things, the specific period covered by the three-week playing suspension," the IRFU said in a statement on Thursday.
