“Pick My Mates” Austin Healey Picks his Premiership ‘Immortals’ XV

Former England scrum half Austin Healey has picked his Premiership Rugby ‘Immortals XV’, with the former Leicester Tigers player not looking too far from home in where he picked his line-up.

Healey’s starting XV was made up entirely of his former Leicester Tigers teammates, in a move which left BT Sport presenter Craig Doyle speechless. Healey justified his picks by jokingly saying:

You only get one shot to name an Immortals XV so I took the chance to have some fun…. I'd argue you'd find it hard to disagree with a lot of my choices though… Cc @LeicesterTigers https://t.co/OrF16tpgV3

“Most people would have shot my team down anyway so, I was onto a hiding for nothing. So what I did was, I just picked the whole Leicester team that I played with.”

I think it makes perfect sense, they’ve won four (Premiership) titles, they’re all… well, most of them are great blokes. And I understand everything about them.”
