Scotland outclassed minnows Romania winning 84-0 with Healy playing a pivotal part in his sides victory.
The 24-year-old impressed scoring a well worked try and 11 conversions throughout the game.
His try saw him beat several Romanian players after receiving an off-load from Darcy Graham.

The Edinburgh man became the second player in Rugby World Cup history to score more than ten conversions in a single match without missing one.
Healy switched his allegiance from Ireland to Scotland earlier this year.
Ben Healy "clincal" as Scotland hammer Romania
His performance was certainly notable and caught the eye of Scotland Head Coach Gregor Townsend who praised him when speaking after the game.
"I think Ben Healy has to take a lot of credit as to how well he put people into space," Townsend said.
"I thought he managed the game very well in the first half because Romania were playing well and were very physical. He makes up the game with some very good kicks.
"In the second half the temptation was to go to the well a lot but there was also some space for him and others to go in between defenders. He did that well.
"I'm really pleased for him he's trained really well and he was professional and clinical in his performance tonight."
Scotland's attention will quickly turn to their clash with Ireland next weekend at the Stade de France in Paris with Townsend's team still in with a chance of advancing to the quarter-finals.
To do so Scotland need to beat Ireland and realistically deny the Irish a losing bonus point.
South Africa take on Tonga tonight to conclude their involvement in the group and will expect to take a bonus point victory to secure their place in the last eight.
