The 25-year-old suffered a foot ligament injury during the warm-up games.
WHEN HE FIRST felt the discomfort in his foot, Dan Sheehan feared the worst. He immediately sensed it was going to be a few weeks at least.
“I think as the week went on, it recovered really well, even in the first week, so that kind of gave us a good window,” said Sheehan, who returned off the bench in the win over South Africa two weekends ago. Sheehan played 27 minutes as a replacement against the Springboks last time out and will hope to be back in Ireland’s starting XV for this weekend’s final pool clash with Scotland in Paris.Despite the stress his injury initially caused, Sheehan used his time on the sidelines as best he could and feels he’s “probably the fittest and the best condition I have been in a long time.”
“You can throw a ball against a wall or to a target as much as you want but timings are always going to be the main thing you want to get right. You can only really find that in training, so that was one thing that was on my mind.
