It eventually took a clamper to halt Cian Healy

HE'S come up against some tough opponents in his time – but it was the clampers who managed to get to grips with the brute force of Ireland rugby prop Cian Healy.

They pounced on the 25-year-old's €40,000 Land Rover Defender on Saturday after spotting the gas-guzzler parked illegally outside the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin, where the Irish team stayed ahead of their Six Nations clash with England.

It's not the first time the rugby player has been stopped in his tracks at the five-star establishment.

Last February, he couldn't fit the same vehicle into the hotel's car park because of its height.

The car is complete with the number 1 – his team number – carved into the leather seating.
