The Daily Telegraph's Ian Chadband talks to England fullback Ben Foden about the ultimate dilemma he faces.
"England are about to play a Six Nations Grand Slam decider against Ireland in March just as his fiancée, pop star Una Healy, due to give birth to their baby daughter only four days later, suddenly goes into labour.
What to do? Stand by his country or his woman? Foden’s face crumples into a pained smile.
“Yes, my missus being Irish, she might be pushing that little extra for an early delivery,” he jokes. Err, at least, it sounds like a joke.
“Obviously, it would be terrible timing but there’s only a certain amount of times I’ll play for England and it’d be a hard call. It depends on how my emotions were, because if head and heart weren’t on the game, there would be no point in playing.”"
