He’s left no stone unturned – Jack Conan hails Dan Sheehan after injury return
Ireland's Dan Sheehan celebrates scoring their side's fourth try of the game during the Guinness Men's Six Nations match at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland, February 1, 2025

JACK CONAN believes “unbelievably diligent” Ireland team-mate Dan Sheehan is part of a select group of elite sportsmen following his standout return from a serious knee injury.

Replacement hooker Sheehan claimed the crucial fourth try in Saturday evening’s 27-22 Guinness Six Nations win against England, having not played at Test level since tearing his ACL during last summer’s tour of South Africa.

The 26-year-old’s impressive cameo came only a week after he scored twice for Leinster in his first competitive outing following the long-term issue.
