Tipperary man named in Scotland squad for Rugby World Cup next month in France

Former Munster out-half Ben Healy has been included in Scotland's World Cup squad after picking up his first two caps in the recent warm-up matches.

The Tipperary man changed allegiances to the Scots last year and has since moved to Edinburgh to ply his trade for the upcoming season, and the move has paid off as he will be jetting off to France in a little under a month's time.

Healy could face off against his fellow countrymen during the upcoming tournament, with Ireland facing Scotland in the pair's final Pool B group game at the Stade de France on 7 October.
