Scotland trying to lure Munster star Ben Healy ahead of 2023 World Cup

Scotland are interested in signing Ben Healy from Munster. He is Scottish-qualified through his mother's side of the family. Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend has been in contact with Healey about the possibility of joining either Edinburgh or Glasgow. The out-half is out of contract at the end of this season. Johnny Sexton is set to return for Leinster in their New Year's Day clash with Connacht at RDS. He's not started for them since their win over Munsters in October. Sexton came off the bench in the Gloucester victory a fortnight ago.
