Frank Sheahan had scarely trod on Australian soil earlier this year before he had to come back to Ireland to face an ERC Judicial Tribunal.
That tribunal, bizarrely found him guilty of a doping offence and suspended him from rugby for two years, but three months later, another ERC committee fully exonerated him from the charge and within a week he had returned to help Munster defeat Leinster in the Celtic League and less than 48 hours later was named in Ireland’s RWC squad.
