England manager Clive Woodward has revealed that Lions bad-boy Austin Healey will feature in his Six Nations squad whatever the result of his disciplinary hearing tomorrow.

Healey faces the hearing in front of the Lions tribunal tomorrow for his outspoken comments in a newspaper column during the recent tour of Australia. He is likely to become the second player to be fined £5,000 following Matt Dawson's punishment for his comments about team morale in a newspaper column.

Woodward told the Daily Mail, "They regret what they have done but we have never had any difficulties with either player. Austin got it wrong. I did chuckle when I read the column in question, then I thought: "This is a big call". Campese has been slagging the English off for years and years. Most of us find that quite amusing but this happens with Healey and all of a sudden we have a major incident.

"He will be in the squad for the Ireland game. I have spoken at length to him and the matter will be discussed with the rest of the squad. I cannot overstate my position on this issue.

"If organisations are going to allow fly-on-the-wall documentaries and people at the top to write books, then players are within their rights to do likewise. Nobody knows what Graham is going to write in his book about the players. It does leave them exposed.

"You have to set your own rules. I have been approached quite a few times by people wanting to make behind-the-scenes documentaries and others wanting me to write various pieces.

"I have never done it. I'm not saying the players cannot do columns but they must be careful. What they write cannot be about anything that goes on behind closed doors.

"I could write a best-seller based on some of the things I have experienced in the last four years but those things will go with me to my grave. I will never divulge that sort of thing. You are in a very privileged position running an international team.

"You are there to win matches, not to make videos and write books. That's where Mark James, the last Ryder Cup captain, was totally wrong.

"I fully supported what Nick Faldo and Bernhard Langer said about him. Glenn Hoddle was totally wrong in the book he did as was Graham Taylor for allowing that documentary. It is not the right way to operate a national sports team."
