"Three months ago I suffered a brain haemorrhage during Ireland training," Dane posted on twitter. "Luckily the IRFU medical team were close at hand to respond immediately and get me the care I needed.
"Thank you to the IRFU, Connolly and Beaumont Hospitals, Rugby Players Ireland and my family and friends for the love and support. I hope to make a full recovery and return to work and rugby, but it will take some time. For now I will be Ireland's biggest fan."
