Leinster prop Healy kicked off domestic flight

Leinster and Ireland prop Cian Healy was kicked off a domestic flight travelling from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town on Sunday. 

Leinster had beaten the Kings 31-10 at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Saturday. They were headed to Cape Town before their trip to Bloemfontein to take on the Cheetahs this weekend. 

British and Irish Lions capped prop Healy was reviewing Saturday's match on his laptop at a point when all passengers were asked to turn off their electronic devices. 

Healy refused to turn off his device and was then asked to disembark. 

"Leinster Rugby can confirm that Cian Healy was asked to leave yesterday afternoon's flight from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town," Leinster's statement read according to Sport24.

"The issue related to a misunderstanding around the use of a laptop during the approach to take off.

"Cian disembarked the plane and took the next available flight to Cape Town with the same airline.

"Cian apologised sincerely to all concerned at the time for any inconvenience caused."
