Horan happy to weight and see

IT was never difficult to admire Marcus Horan on a rugby pitch.

The figure on his back indicated he was a member of the front-row fraternity. In other words, you expected him to be like all other props and do his stuff at the coalface and leave the fancy work to the back-row, the half-backs and the fancy-dans in the three-quarter line.

But Marcus refused to see it like that. Instead, he wanted the ball in his hands and once it arrived there, he was determined to run with it and use it to his side’s advantage.
