Close them aul' floodgates again -- Healy and Ross sign new Leinster deals

The two lads will continue their front-row double act for another few seasons (at least).

JONNY SEXTON IS heading for the Dublin Airport departures lounge this summer — but Cian Healy and Mike Ross won’t be joining him in Terminal One.

The two props, who head up the front row when Ireland meet Wales in Cardiff this Saturday, signed new contracts which will see them stay with Leinster.

Healy, 25, has agreed a three-year deal until the end of the 2015/2016 season while Ross, 32, has signed a two-year deal which runs until the summer of 2015.

A delighted head coach Joe Schmidt welcomed both deals while Healy, already winner of three Heineken Cups, said he was looking forward to winning more silverware with Leinster.

“I still feel there is plenty more left in the tank for the province and there is a great group of players there and great support, so I’m really happy to have agreed a new contract to stay here in Ireland.”
