He said: “I don’t know if it was an accident or on purpose, so we’ll move on.”
The have confirmed that Healy has not broken his leg, but they have called England’s Alex Corbisiero from their tour in as a cover.
“We’ll just have to wait for 24, 48 hours and see where we are for that,” said Warren .
“He went for an X-ray and it’s not broken, so we just assume it’s ligament damage. He need a scan to delve further into the potential of the injury.”
